Hi,

I'm facing a problem with a rounding issue that I don't know how to fix.

I have a variable (Currency type) that holds a value of 68.135. When I
assign this value to a TBCDField with Size = 2 (number of decimals after dec
point), the field contains 68.14.

I always thought that if a number ends with a 5 an the next digit was either
a zero or missing, the value would be rounded without adding .01 thus giving
68.13 and not 68.14.

What should I do to get the right result ? Maybe am I wrong and the correct
result should be 68.14 ?

Thanks,

Stephan
