<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Ken,<BR><BR>I realise that everyone is sick
to death of this topic but <SPAN class=561062912-11092000>there is
something very peculiar going on here which I think warrants further
explanation. This is what the 7.02 downloader says my data is for
today</SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>

class=561062912-11092000>ow my experience is that the Downloader will
unfailingly display what I downloaded (like duh!) so what gives? My
theory is that the Downloader is "correctly" rounding to 4 decimal places
while MS is displaying an unrounded 5 decimal places.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=561062912-11092000><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Perhaps a future version could have a Window Option - number of
decimal places to display? I tend to agree with your point that input
to formula should not be fiddled with, but almost no-one wants to see 5
decimal places for anything that I know of. As an interesting aside,
historically US stocks have not suffered from this problem (fractions are
stored differently I believe). This could become a significant issue
as you go decimal.</FONT></P>
