decimal places in a table

Guest

I have a table, query, report. The item price in the table is set up for 3
decimal places, however, when I enter a number, it rounds it off to the nears
whole number-still showing the decimal places as zeros. I need the decimal
places to correctly figure the price of the item. Why is it rounding?

What data type do you have set for the field? The data type and the format
(display) are two totally different issues.

It sounds like your field is defined as an integer, but your formatting is
set display decimal places.
