>>Hi everybody,

>>I have a field Commission paid in the table. For my report I also re-calculate commissions based on category. I use currency fields for commissions and I round the numbers by 2. Now the total commissions paid (which is near 10K) doesn't match the sum of totals commissions by category by $5.

>>I'm wondering, should I try to not round my commissions in the calculations? The total commission paid field is Numeric (11,2).

>>UPDATE. Without the round the difference is only in the last digits (cents portion), so I lost $5 somehow in my calculations...

Hilmar,

It turned out that 1) I had some bugs in the logic now fixed
2) I didn't originally account for Memos and now I include them into the result.

With all these items sorted I now have a discrepancy less than 50 cents for the whole report, which I think is acceptable.
