Misbehaving decimal places

1,287 Expert 1GB
I have a table with currency fields set to 2 decimal places.

My query has

Percent: IIf([estimate]=0 Or IsNull([estimate]),0,[balance]/[estimate]*100)

Even with a balance and estimate with 1 digit decimals I'm getting 13 digits in the Percent field. My form's textbox is set to Fixed and 2 decimal places, but it refuses to behave. I ended up switching all my $ fields from Number to Currency because of this problem. I'm reluctant to put Round() in the query because it's very slow already. Is there any good way to take care of this on the form?

You can give this a try:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Percent: IIf([estimate]=0 Or IsNull([estimate]),0,FormatNumber([balance]/[estimate]*100,2))

Works great and no noticable time difference. Thank you ADezii.

You are quite welcome, ChipR. I was a little concerned about the execution time, but according to you, it really wasn't that significant.

I haven't timed it, so I don't want to jump ahead and say that it's fast. My query takes several seconds to display already, so at least I don't notice the extra time. I've tried everything to improve my query, but that will be a topic for another thread.
