In my case with OpenLink they become double presision floating point numbers. That's better than text, but still a problem if you are conserned about rounding errors. They should have become currency datatype in Access if the number of digits after the decimal point was 4 or less and double presision floating point otherwise Access have no "decimal" datatype with more than 4 digits after the decimal point. One of Microsofts greater stupidities. I haven't taken this up with OpenLink yet. I have however copied this post to them. If something can be done about this I am sure they will. :--=20 :cu Reiner (munich, germany) : :Peter Tashkoff <TASHKOP@kiwi.co.nz> schrieb im Beitrag = :<5o9pfo$3p6@cssun.mathcs.emory.edu>... :> MSAccess is what we use in house.
