I have a program with the following line of code:

lPayment_Amount = lpct * tpd_payments_lte.weekly_ttd_rt

When I run my program and check the debugger, the following values are used:

10.8539997 = 0.04998 * 217.18

When I ROUND(lPayment_Amount,2) I get 10.85.

But when I do the math using the Windows 95 calculator (0.04998 * 217.18) I get 10.8546564 which should round to 10.86.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks!
