Rob-

Round() is a valid ASP2 function, as is int() (and fix()) which will drop
the fractional part of a number (like floor).  There is no ceiling()
function IIRC, but you can use JScript's functions from within your VB/ASP
block by doing something like:

<script runat=server langauge=JScript>
	yourJSFunction(inVal){
		return ceiling(inVal);
	}
</script>

I currently use this setup for ordering arrays, since the VB bubble method
is pretty damn slow with larger chunks and JS has the built-in array.sort()
method.

Also note that round() can be rather unreliable sometimes, not always
rounding a particular number up as you would expect.  I forget why this is
but there's some valid reason for it.

HTH!
