How would you reproduce that behaviour in T-SQL ? I only seem to get back a field with 0.00 in it, which you can't enter anything greater than 9.99 into, and replacing with something like 1234.56 puts 1235 in. -- Alan Bourke [EMAIL PROTECTED] [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
