How do I change the the number of decimal places to be displayed in a calculated field. I am calculating unit price by dividing total price by units. If my unit price is .75986, the amount displayed is .80. The auto format does not seem to pick up the .75986 format. Setting it to 5 decimal only messes up the other unit prices. Then I get results like 1.75000 which doesnt look too good on a purchase order. ANy suggestions would be appreciated?

For the SPECIFIC control where you display the calc:
You need to set the FORMAT property to 'other than' General Number (you cannot set hte decimal places for th egeneral number format). Then set the # Decimal places.

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over
