Issues with decimals when importing data from Access to SQL Server (Microsoft)

[unixhd]

I have been having issues with this for a while. For example : I want to import the number 5.21 from an access text box to the SQL server. But everytime I try it converts the number to the closest value of it without the dot. (5.6 > 6)
This is my SQL config at the moment:

I have tried float,bigint,decimal,numeric for the field m4_width.
This is my Access:



I have tried to use General Number, fixed, no format and standart. I also have tried using 1,2 and none decimal places but with no avail.

make sure your access import field is set to SINGLE or double or currency,
NOT INTEGER , nor LONG as these will remove the decimal.

sql fields uses integers as SMALL INT, or INT.

Tried, did not fix the issue

Your data in SQL is an integer data type, it can only store an integer value.
You need to use a decimal data type in SQL server.

I have also tried decimal values as I said

You would have to change the datatype in SQL server , save the table design then re-import .
I would use Decimal (18,4) for most values unless you need a large degree of accuracy after the decimal point.

Int & Big Int definitely won't work.
