texte = >On certain calculations of the tax rate (CA - 8.5%) the grand total adds >one more cent than the tax shown. > >I have a subtotal of $249.00 with tax at 8.5% come to $21.16. Yet the >grandtotal tells me $270.17. One cent is not going to irritate many >customers, but it does look bad from a interface perspective.Hmmm. I believe we're carrying thru the calculations at a higher precision than gets displayed at each sub-stage. The grand total is more accurate, because it uses the full precision.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
