Show us the code, and we'll try to sort it out.

To me, "inaccurate" and "invalid" mean the same thing in
this case. :-)

Not I. I wrote and compiled the following with MSVC++ v6.0 SP5 :
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << 3400 % 1515 << '\n';
return 0;
}
It gives the output:
370
When I pasted the expression '3400 % 1515' (without the
quotes) into a quick watch window and clicked the "Recalculate"
button, I got a result of 370. Perhaps you're having trouble
using your debugger, which is of course not topical here.

I believe the latest (and last) patch for MSVC++ v6.0
is "Service Pack 5", but I doubt this patch (or lack
of it) has anything to do with your problem (of course
I could be wrong, Microsoft has been known to do some
strange things. :-)).
