I am having fun!
An insurance premium refund has to be calculated based on rates and number of days etc. The maths gives this a value of (for instance) 9.0083. This shows up in txtPremium as 9.01 which is OK. You then enter the amount of the refund (txtRefund) given as 9.01 and process the refund.
Part of my programme says if the value of the refund and the premium are identical then the refund is full and complete. But txtRefund has a value of 9.01 and txtPremium, despite showing 9.01, actually is 9.0083, so the two are not identical and Access will not recognise it as a full refund.
The nub lies in how do I get the calculated field to log and store the value as a proper two decimal point value in the first place - and yes the value does have to be logged for audit process and cannot be calculated on the fly.
Any pointers most appreciated since this is getting on my nerves.
Thanks
