In Access field 0.5 becomes 0 and 1.5 becomes 2

I have a field looking up a list which includes 0.5, 1.00 and 1.50. When
0.50 is selected, only 0 appears and when 1.50 is selected it shows as 2. I
want to be able to enter from a look-up list or table numbers to 2 decimal
places (I have already set the decimal places formats to two places)

What data type is the field? It sounds like you have it set to integer or
long. It needs to be currency, single, or double.

Thanks for the response. I originally set it to currency, but you can't use
look-up from a currency field. However, I've changed the data type to
Number, Field Size to Double and Format to Currency and it works. Many
thanks!
