RE: Dumb programming question..

 >> That really simplies the equation.

Does it?  I can't help wondering.  If you "simplify" to the point that a
knowledge of algebra is needed before you can understand the relationship of
the code to the original requirement ... then haven't you obfuscated rather
than simplified?

The version ( ( FieldA - 1 ) / FieldA ) * 100 is a direct representation of
the original requirement and there can't be a lot of difference performance
wise.

Just "thinking out loud"
