Dear Stuart,
The Sprintf function may not be able to change the value of the scalar
variable $total...its only used to format the value for display...
so dividing by 100 seems to be the only way out...or you could use
string functions to fetch the substrings and concatenate them with
decimal in between...
hope this helps...
regs,
