Peter,

SQL formats a field based on the first one it sees, so if the first item in field#1 is 0 and the first item in field#2 is 3.45, you will get "rounding" in field#1 and not in field#2.

The solution for this is SELECT MyField + 0.00 AS MyField. (For characters SELECT PADR(MyField, 20) AS MyField.)

Another thing I have run into is the formatting of the report. Instead of 99,999.99 , a couple of times I have typed 99,999.00 - which always shows zero's in the cents area. Took me awhile to find those!

Something to check outside of the report, take your cursor and do what the report does. Try CALCULATE SUM(MyField#1), SUM(MyField#2) - the results will show in the Fox desktop. This will help you decide whether the problem is in the cursor, or the report calculations, or the report formatting.

Happy debugging!



>I have a report that has two - almost identical - fields. The data for the report is gathered by a large SQL statement and stored in a cursor. Both fields are SUMS of field in a table based off of a starting date. The ONLY difference - field #1 is data from a date in the middle of the month, field #2 is data from the first of the month.
>When I print the two fields on the form, field #2 (the "more" data) prints perfectly (ex: $7.50)... field #1 (the "less" data) prints $8.00. More research shows that their is DEFINATELY no additional records for either SUM that causes the descrepency. In addition, any "client" on this report, the "change" is rounded up for field #1.
