Question regarding decimal points

T

How do i set up to display one or more decimals on a field without Access
rounding it off? I went to the design view in my form and my field is
specified as a Number type, Long Integer field size, the Format is "General
Number" and i specified 1 decimal point. However, when I go to my table and I
try to enter the value of 8.9 for axample, Access rounds it off to 9.0. What
should I do?

Thanks,

Change the datatype from Long Integer (an Integer is a whole number with 0
decimal places!) to something like Single, Double or Currency.
