Rounding $0.01 out

I have a repeat region with
Product name
Product cost
Markup
Price (markup * Product Cost)
Quantity
Extension ((markup * Product Cost)* QTY)

My extension is often 1 cent out

I am expressing it in classic asp:

=(FormatCurrency((Cdbl(Fufillment.Fields.Item("ProductCost").Value)*(Cdbl(Fufillment.Fields.Item("Markup").Value))*(Cdbl(Fufillment.Fields.Item("OrderQTY").Value)))))

How do I restrict it

Can you give us an example of the data you are using so we can see what is going on. My only suggestion without seeing your data is to try using CDec instead of CDbl because CDbl is effectively rounding up/down to the nearest integer value, treating the number as a decimal may help.
