Try:
Num = INT(Num * Places2RoundRaised2_10 + .5) / Places2RoundRaised2_10

Something I actually learned from an Apple (amazing!)
To, say, round to 10ths Places2RoundRaised2_10 would be 10, hundredths, 100...

Be warned, though.  This method is about 8 TIMES as slow as CINT, but it
does round to specific digits.
