I fortunately don't need calculation precision down that far, so I just stick to dollars and cents. But it brings up a useful point: if you do need to keep track of 10ths, 100ths, 1000ths's of a cent/pence/zlotych etc. you can do it pretty easily by altering your multiplier. something I was thinking of earlier: I don't trap when a user enters '$100.5050', and I should look into the effects of that. so far after about 100k users no one has made that mistake. Doesn't mean they won't, though. --------------------------------------- Matt Robertson, MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com - Retail http://foohbar.org - ColdFusion Tools --------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- from: "Samuel R.
