or:

outFile << left << setw(12) << database.Record1.id
               << setw(20) << database.Record1.lastAmount
               << setw(15) << database.Record1.transCount ;
  outFile.precision(5);
outFile  << "$" << setprecision(2) << database.Record1.total << endl;


<div>
oops i meant &nbsp; &nbsp;outFile.precision(2);
</div>

Heres my code:<br />
outFile &lt;&lt;&nbsp;left &lt;&lt;&nbsp;setw(12) &lt;&lt;&nbsp;database.Record1.id <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;&lt; setw(20) &lt;&lt;&nbsp;database.Record1.lastAmoun<wbr />t <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;&lt; setw(15) &lt;&lt;&nbsp;database.Record1.transCoun<wbr />t<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;&lt;&nbsp;&quot;$&quot; &lt;&lt;&nbsp;setprecision(2) &lt;&lt;&nbsp;database.Record1.total &lt;&lt;&nbsp;endl;<br />
<br />
database.Record1.total is a double and i want it to output like $90.77<br />
<br />
<br />
this is what I get:<br />
300 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 30.77 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 3 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;$91<br />
<br />
<br />
does anyone know why this happens?
