The integer() function in Lingo happens to round UP (some languages it rounds down, or just acts as a trunc() (truncate) function. Lingo doesn't have a truncate function. To round up, just do: result =integer(myNumber) To round down, you have to subtract .5: result =integer(myNumber - .5) So since you're going up, just use the integer() function. - Tab At 07:13 AM 6/17/03, Chris Aernoudt wrote: >Hi, > >Silly question; i need to round a number to the next integer...
