| webfred is right but you might want to know the reason why.....if you divide 2 integer values then you use integer division. So to get the answer you want then you use FLOAT or DECIMAL/NUMERIC types which result in non integer division.so if you wanted to divide 2 integers from variables or column values you need to CAST or CONVERT one of the values to a FLOAT or DECIMAL.Charlie===============================================================Msg 3903, Level 16, State 1, Line 1736The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION |
