Negative Number (OpenInsight Specific)

I have a calculated column that contains a very simple math equation(@Ans=A-B)that I use in two locations. The window that displays this column produced the correct results 100% of the time. In the Reporter report that uses this column the answer is incorrect if the answer is between 0 and -1 otherwise it is correct. I have tried creating a calculated field in Reporter to produce the answer but I get the same results.
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Marty,
It's been a long time since I've played with the Reporter, but can't you also refer to the same symbolic you are using in your form rather than create a separate calculated field?

Hi Don,
I did use the symbolic in Reporter and it had the original problem. I only used a calculated field just to try something else. Both of them exhibited the same problem.
The number displayed by this calculation can be any number both positive or negative in increments of 0.5. All numbers except negative 0.5 (-0.5) display correctly.
This appears to be an anomaly in Reporter as the same symbolic in a window displays correctly 100% of the time.
