[Sussex] query problems and rounding

[Alex Craddock]

I would think it is looking past the 5th digit and for the 26.775
possibly seeing it as 26.7754 and therefore rounding down

and the other as 

95.2756 so rounding up

I cant find a function to roundup or rounddown with access, there is
one but it only works for excel :/.

The only other thing you could try if you always want it rounded up is
add 0.0005 to the equestion that might solve the problem....
