Is the Integer type 4 byte long?
I have defined a SQL Server 2000 table has a field of Integer type with
length in 4, I want to define the same table in MS Access.

From the help files

"Integer variables are stored as 16-bit (2-byte) numbers ranging in
value from -32,768 to 32,767. The type-declaration character for
Integer is the percent sign (%)."

Longs and Singles are 4 bytes, Doubles are 8

Access uses Integer to refer to a 2-byte number, and Long Integer to refer
to a 4-byte.
