"Like most languages?" Name one. C and C++ certainly will not display this with two decimal places, unless you print it out with a %.2f format. DECIMAL is an SQL thing. Unless the language has a native decimal type, it cannot possibly know how to display it in the same format as your SQL. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
