Access - FoxPro: The Decimal field's precision is too small to accept the numeric

T

Tonecho

I'm using Access 2000 linking FoxPro Tables via ODBC
When I link tables with numeric fields Access gives me an error:

"The Decimal field's precision is too small to accept the numeric you
attempted to add."

I find this problem in "Knowledge Base"

I update my Windows XP to Jet 4.0 SP8 with Mdac 2.8 RMT and the las
version
of FoxPro ODBC Driver and the problem is the same.

Any help appreciated.
