Hi Janet,

This is strange, but that I had as a quick test:

? .35000000 * 943.0 *.100
? ROUND(.35000000 * 943.0 *.100 ,2) 
? ROUND((.35000000 * 943.0 *.100) ,2)
? .35000000 * 943.0 *.100
? ROUND(.35000000 * 943.0 *.100 ,2) 
? ROUND(33.005000000000,2)
lnNumber= .35000000 * 943.0 *.100
? ROUND(lnNumber,2)
lnNumber= .35000000 * 943.0 *.100
? lnNumber
? ROUND(lnNumber,2)
=messagebox(str(lnNumber,30))
=messagebox(str(lnNumber,30,15))
=messagebox(str(lnNumber,30,10))
=messagebox(str(lnNumber,30,20)) && gives an error
=messagebox(str(lnNumber,40,20)) && gives an error
=messagebox(str(lnNumber,40,18))
? round(33.005,2)
? round(lnNumber,2)
? lnNumber==33.005
? (lnNumber==33.005)
? (lnNumber==33.00500000)
? lnNumber

It seems like lnNumber<>33.005 for some reason... VFP bug?????
