Yup, I knew that... I just thought that since Trigger recommended it as a T_SQL command, there might be some neat trick he was using to use it...

RE: Banker''''s rounding in T-SQL (like Math.Round in .NET)
Andrew, you're making a classic error... you are doing traditional rounding to 3 places before you are attempting the bankers rounding....Just like the example of 3.445657545 being rounded to 3.45...--Jeff Moden
