| FWIW - Every accounting package that I've worked with carries money values to at least three decimal places.HTH=================================================================Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all. -Thomas Szasz, author, professor of psychiatry (1920- ) |

| If you only need to DISPLAY 2 decimal places, but not actually round off the value, then do it in your application/presentation layer, or use the CONVERT() or STR() SQL functions to convert it to a string/varchar.You are better off using money/smallmoney rather than decimal if you're storing monetary values. As Bustaz said, you get more accuracy with money, and it's more efficiently stored and calculated than decimal types. |
