Now if Emerald used formulas like the above, I could see a customer
bitching about it! <VBG>

The actual forumal is N * P * D OR N * D * P Where N is the Amount,
D is the discount (which we represent in the database as .84, I might
add) and P is the payperiod (like 6). The order of the calculation
is the big issue.
