Should banker's rounding work on calculated figures?

[The_Doc_Man]

All in all I just wish Decimal was implemented as BCD as it was in PL/I. Each half bite was a number from 0 to 9.

Ah, yes ... the good old days. And for what it is worth, BCD instructions are still implemented in the Intel architecture.

Just to provide an update on this one: what I ended up doing was using the Val function on the result, e.g. Round(Val([TOTAL]),2). Banker's rounding now seems to work as expected - incredible!

My thanks again to all who kindly took time to offer their suggestions.
