Still looking for help

Hi Jochen,

Thanks for taking them time to respond. I agree with your interpretation of the technote... but that's a side-note discussion from my original question and it does not really help with the problem I am having.

I already found a work-around. But working-around this problem is just not feasible. I need a proper solution that addresses the problem at source; so that all fields and columns, in all forms and views, across all financial apps in our domain, will sum up correctly.

The behaviour I am seeing is reproducible, using computed number fields, with currency rounding set at 2 decimal places in the field properties.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Back-end...
FieldA = 5709.285
FieldB = 1141.86
FieldC = FieldA + FieldB (computed)

What you see displayed front-end is...
FieldA is 5709.28
FieldB is 1141.86
FieldC is 6851.15

You see the problem? Apparently, it doesn't add up.

FieldA's value has been rounded-down for display, but, apparently, rounded up for use in the computed total.

Can anyone explain this behaviour? It seems buggy to me.

Thanks
