decimal places
Hello all!
I'm trying to get my table to show decimal values. In the table design view, I set "Field Size" to decimal, and Decimal Places to "4". However, all the decimal values I enter still get truncated. The help section said to look at the "Property Sheet." This is the property sheet, right? Thanks in advance! Andrew |

However, all the decimal values I enter still get truncated. The help section said to look at the "Property Sheet." This is the property sheet, right? Look first at the top row of the property sheet. I suspect it has the default Number datatype, Long Integer. An integer, BY DEFINITION, is a whole number. Change it to Float or Double. I don't recommend using the Decimal datatype, it's buggy. If you need exactly four (no more, no fewer) decimal places, don't use a Number datatype at all - use a Currency datatype instead. John W.
