My attempt to avoid this problem with the earthdistance regression used a cast to numeric to limit the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. If the normal number of digits displayed is different between two systems, than displaying a fixed number less digits is still going to result in differences. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
