It is not a bug. This is just the way MOD and decimal numbers which are represented as binary numbers work. It is not just a Revolution problem. The error does not accumulate. Try summing a million .10. There is no accumulation. Run this handler. on mouseUp set the numberFormat to \ "0.###############################################################" put ".100000000000000000,.100000000000000012,.100000000000000013" into inc repeat with j=1 to 3 put item j of inc into incc put 0 into a repeat with i=1 to 10 add incc to a put a&"" into a put "0."&i into ii put ii&" "&a into line i+(j-1)*10 of fld 1 end repeat end repeat end mouseUp michael _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
