Numbers after decimal pont...

Hi,
I was wondering why is it I get extra digits in an edit mode of a certain currency box but I get a ROUND 2 decimal amount when I get out of the edit mode.
Here is an example
Ex: I have created a currency field in my Quote Line page, this amount comes from the result of a formula.  Let's say the result amount would be $2000.00, but what happens is that the amount shows correctly on the page ($2000.00) but when I click on the edit button I get $2000.001.
Why ?? anyone have a clue??,
Alen

SF documentation is incorrect. It indicates that the custom field attribute Decimal Places is "the number of digits you can enter to the right of a decimal point" when in fact it is the number of decimal points that the entry will be rounded to when viewing the field on the detail page and in views/reports.

There is no built-in control for the number of decimal points that can be ENTERED in number, currency, and percent fields. However, you could use a validation rule to control this.
