Am loading rows into OWS on NT. Have a field defined as float. Load in delimited rows with a number such as .03. It loads as .02999999999. Why in the WORLD would it do this? Makes my calculations come out absurd and my tables in screens have to be much wider. I really only need precision of 3 or so. Thoughts?
