mod function not returning decimal values

[Guest]

Hi,
I hope that someone can help? I am using Access 2003.
I have a field [TotalSum] that has a value of 67.323
When I use the MOD function [TotalSum] mod 60 it returns a value of 7
I have tried formatting it as a General Number and Fixed but the result is
7.00
As you can see, it does not include the decimal value. I would have expected
the result to be 7.323
Thanks
Allan.

Read the help topic on the Mod operator, Allan. It is working as documented.

To get the result you want ...

? 67.323-(60*(67.323 \ 60))
7.32299999999999
