Hi All

There was a fix posted sometime ago for the numeric accuracy problem with
Winprint II in VDF10. Whilst I thought this had fixed the problem, I have
just been given a report today which doesnt add-up.

Due to the nature of the calculations I use numeric variables to do my
totals in the sub-total section of the report. If I use ShowLn to display
the content of these to the screen in many cases the figure shown on the
screen is different to what is printed on the report.

This appears to only happen when the figure is in the millions, and I
suspect it only happens from 10 million upwards. It appears to be rounding
my figures.

Can someon please comment on how I might fix this problem, as for an
accounting system it is rather major, (even though it is only a very small
figure different).

Thanks

John
