In Confirm2.asp at the very bottom of the page in the GRAND SUMMARY OF CHARGES the REGULAR TAX RATE displays as 8.299999%. In the online order system I entered my state tax rate as 0.083. How can I round the displayed tax rate to 8.30%?

I had the same problem in the SalesCart NET version although it was fixed in the next release. I used the math.round function as a workaround to correctly display the tax rate.
In confirm2.asp where the Tax Rate is displayed try the following:

<% =math.round((TaxRate(2) * 100),2) %>

Just realized that the above works with ASP.NET but will cause an error in classic ASP.
Another option is to try:

<%= int((TaxRate(2) + .0005) * 1000)/10 %>

Mike,

Thanks for the guidance. I have PRO and with your suggestions I found that the fix was the following:

<%= TaxRate(2) * 1000 / 10 %>

I ran a couple of dummy sales and it seems to be working.

Thanks agiain.
