RE: Edit code/word to show only so many decimals?

It's for web developement... display only purposes.  We have some companies
that store a unit price to 4 decimals, others at 3, and others at 2.

I wanted to make one field with 4 decimals, but then for those who only use
2 decimals if it always showed 4, and the last two were always 00, they
would not like it.

So, I may be stuck making 3 different fields.  No biggie, and it may
actually work better since those that use 4 decimals, it would not line up
numbers nice if some of their unit prices didn't use all 4, for example..

ItemA    1.0012
ItemB     1.111
ItemC      1.00
