In a query, I would like to filter out all whole numbers in a field and only
leave the records with fractions, which could be one decimal place or upto
seven decimal places.

TFTH,
Tom
 
Not sure how to intergrate this into the query (Where and How)? Please
simplify for me, as I am not as up on Access as I should be.

If you're using the graphical query builder, add a computed field in the
grid by typing

Int([MyField])

in "Field" row of an empty column.

In the "Criteria" row of that same column, type [MyField]

(replace both occurrences of MyField with the actual field name, of course)

Douglas,
Worked great except it returned the whole numbers. I really am wanting the
query to return numbers that are fractions. Any ideas?

Make sure you're returning [MyField], not Int([MyField])

To make it easier when looking at the query, uncheck the box in the "Show"
row of the computed column you added.
