RE: Changed Number
Ken Looks like you used a medium int field on the mysql table - if you import a figure that is too big for the medium int to handle - on overflow it places a value of 8388607 into the colum. You need to change to an integer column.

This is exactly the maximum value of a signed mediumint. Might I suggest a column type of int or bigint. In a numeric field, anything over the maximum will be converted to the maximum, and anything under the minimun will be converted to the minimun. > This makes no sense.

RE: Changed Number
Sounds like the type for the field you're storing the number is not capable of holding a number sized as 16996941. What's the field type you're storing the number in?
