Jeff, try the format function

put format("%1.2f",NBalance) into NBalance

The numberFormat is a system property, and you can't set it for one  
variable. It persists (I think) until the current handler finishes.  
In any case, it simply limits the decimal places, and will not put  
the trailing zeros in, so if your calculation produced a value of  
21.1, it would still only give you "21.1" rather than "21.10".

Best,

Mark
