Jim,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry if my message was unclear.

The correct answer is 852,689,382.311811 and VFP gets this no matter what the SET('DECIMALS') setting. But if I use the VFP ROUND() function as follows, I get inconsistent results.

ROUND(800000000 / 0.938208, 6) = 852,689,382.311812 [incorrect]
ROUND((800000000 / 938208)*1000000, 6) = 852,689,382.311812 [incorrect]
ROUND((800000000 / 9382080)*10000000, 6) = 852,689,382.311811 [correct]

FYI, the reply by Hilmar Zonneveld provides a solution.

Paul
