Here's a very good explanation site and it talks about BigDecimal: http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/decifaq.html Reminds me of a Bank Robber when I was stationed in North Carolina back in the 80s/early 90s. Not your gun weilding bank robber; this guy actually worked at the bank as a computer geek. What he was doing for like 7 or 8 years was scraping off 1/1000 (.001)s from interest dividends from people's interest bearing accounts and depositing it into a separate account of his own. People with the bank accounts never missed the .001+s of interest and he made off with I think 2 to 3 million dollars over the span of years. It's amazing!! L8R Keith E.
