Hoping someone can help. I have looked for an answer and can't quite grasp what I need to do. I am using Access 2000.

Basically, I have a quote form that adds together all job related services and totals them using a currency field. Sales would like to have the option of quoting the job two decimal places or going out to three. So, I need to round to the two different cost options. I can't figure out how to do this. So, my question is:

1) Am I using the correct data type?
2) If currency is most appropriate, how do I show results such as:
$12.327 and $12.33.

If I only change decimal property (therefore, the display) for the fields, the form shows: 12.33 and 12.330. Have tried using the Round function different data types and not having any luck.

Hope this makes some sense. Thanks!

Consider storing it in a DOUBLE and using FORMAT to display the value how you want? I think FORMAT will round for you depending on the number of decimal places you choose.
Just my 2 cents.
