Mortgage/Loan Assistant - bi-weekly loan payments

[dmc6000]

Thanks Al. I suppose modifying the formula will resolve this issue.

That is true, my fault in reporting 24 instead, but the issue still
remains. The formula calculated by the druid is not correct since it
takes the rate and divides it by the number of months, while it should
really take the frequency field information.
