    SELECT statement field - another field ACCESS QUERY


    I use the SELECT statement of a field minus another field (example 9.9899999998132 - 9.9900000000818) I have the query result as -2.68602917685715E-11.

    why it isn't showing something like this
    -0.00000000026859936497

    It's showing the number in scientific notation. Access has issues with very large and very small numbers, or did until Access2016. Review https://support.office.com/en-us/art...f-b77bae076f70

    Try setting the format of the field as Fixed and decimal places as 12 or whatever you want
