    Question how to enter data with decimal places

    I am new to databases. I have set up a simple database but when I enter say 14.75 as a number the database converts it to 15.00. I am not aware of having set any rounding conditions.

    Help appreciated!

    Probably need to change the number type property of the field in table to Double instead of Single.

    It is interresting that you are displaying 15.00. Without formatting, you will not typicaly see the zeros. A single or Double or Currency data type will manage decimals.

    I will guess you have an integer data type truncating the value somewhere. It could even be at the table level. How big of a number are you trying to store in your table and how many decimal places do you need? What is the range of values?

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
