've got a field object that is a formula, which works great and all.

Like the man said.

Or right click on the field, Number tab, Customize buttom, set Decimals to 1.

D'oh.

I just remembered that you can't set get rid of your decimals without implicitly rounding up the integer.

Do what Ngolem said.

Sorry about the misadvice.
