Hi Mark -

Just ran into this when trying to match value in a file with a
calculated value
Had a record pop up as different file had .74 query showed .73
I then went back and made calculated field 4 dec positions and it showed
.7360 which should round to .74
I double checked to make sure and had rounding turned on and I did

Are you using the formatting options to reduce the number of decimal places? I believe that always truncates. Otherwise, if you are *sure* that rounding is turned on, it certainly is hard to account for.
