I have a qry that is based on table. The qry subtracts one field from another to produce a result:
Here are the actual numbers:
Field 1: 185,013.15
Field 2: 185,013.15
The result (returned in Field 3) is:
2.91038304567337E-11
I don't know why the result isn't zero? There are a lot of other rows in which Fields 1 and 2 are equal and the result returned in Field 3 IS zero as expected. I can't figure out why some of the rows are producing the above result.
I compacted and repaired the datase, and I tried exporting the table and qry to a new database just to see if perhaps the database had become corrupted, but the result was the same.
Ideas?
Thx, Wm
