         Dim decRight      As Variant
         Dim lngDecPos     As Long

            ' get amount after decimal point and multiply by 100 so cents is before decimal point

9              RoundPenny = mnyDollars + ((decCents + 1) * 0.01)

17       Select Case Err.Number

            Case 6

18             Err.Raise vbObjectError + 334, c_strComponent & ".RoundPenny", "Number '" & strCurrency & "' is too big to represent as a currency value."

19          Case Else
