I.e. 19.9898923978923892 should just be rounded to 19.989
Also 19.0909 should just be rounded to 19.989
I'd do it something like this...
set theRoundedNumber to roundTheNumber(19.989892397892, 3)
on roundTheNumber(theIntegerToRound, theDecimalPlaces) set theMultiplier to (10 ^ theDecimalPlaces) set theNumber to theIntegerToRound * theMultiplier set theNumber to round theNumber rounding up set theNumber to theNumber / theMultiplier end roundTheNumber
...the first parameter is the number to be rounded. The second parameter is the number of decimal places.
Hope that's some help
Rob
