HI,i'm trying to have the decimal option on my access how should i have it?
right now whatever number that i enter ,the access will round it up to the
higher or lower amount(like:14.56 will show as 15),
would you help me how can i have the decimal numbers on my access?
The default Number datatype (if you don't specify otherwise) is Long Integer;
and an Integer is by definition a whole number.
There are other types of Number. Open the table in design view and select this
field; look at its properties in the box at the lower left. The first box lets
you select Integer, Long Integer (whole number again), Single, Double, or
Decimal. The three latter will let you enter decimals.
Or, if this field refers to money data, consider not using a Number datatype
at all, but instead use a Currency datatype. It gives you four (no more, no
fewer, though you can set the format to *display* fewer) decimals, and does
not have the possible roundoff error problems of the Float or Double
datatypes.
