<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>
