I have an insert query pulling a value from a text box on the form. Recently
the query stopped working and so I opened the query in datasheet view. The
value in the field looked like chinese characters. The value on the form is
a number w/field size of double and = 1265.14 . This is happening for all
records on the form. After copying the chinese letters and pasteSpecial as
bitmat in excel, they appeared to be an Icon.

I am only having this problem when looking at this field through a text box
on a form. When I do a select statement right from the table I get the
appropriate number value.

Any Ideas?

TIA,
TimJ
