Ok, I'm not a Java expert yet but from looking at examples I still can't see what's wrong with this:

double dOpen;
DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("0.00000");
...
print(gsName+": Order ("+sLabel+") opened at "+fmt.Format(dOpen));

I get this compile error: "The method Format(double) is undefined for the type DecimalFormat"???

Any ideas?

Thanks
Mark

i think you should write fmt.format(dOpen) and not fmt.Format(dOpen). if you use an ide
like eclipse or netbeans, you can use autocomplete and you will not make these errors ;-)

doh! Thanks Tom! Staring me in the face! :roll:

You're right. I should be using a proper ide. It would help that I don't have to keep looking up what methods/properties are available.
