Does anyone use Math.round() method to do roundings?

The first problem I can't help with, Wayne, since it's intermittent and I've
never seen anything like it, but the second problem is pretty simple.  In
order to round up to two decimal places, just add .005 prior to the
rounding.  To round one decimal place, add .05, to round three places, add
.0005.  For example:

n2 = Float.parseFloat(two.format(n2 + .005));

Hope this helps a little.

Joe
