    Cool Problem with percentage format

    I have a database with two columns for test scores. I have been experimenting with the field properties and format and now all of my percentages are either 0 or 1. I changed my field to:
    Single
    Percent
    Auto



    this has fixed the problem for incoming data, but not for my existing data.

    Can anyone help??

    The existing data got rounded due to it being an Integer. It is not recoverable. It will need to be re-entered.

    Thanks

    Thank you for your response Bob,

    I was expecting that would be the case, I just figured I would try before I start over......lucky for me this is a practice run on a database that I will be creating for work.

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