Exporting changes data types

When I export my data to dBASE IV, III, or V type, and then import it again,
the data types change as in the decimals become auto instead of zero. I know
this isnt a big deal, but I need to have it zero or else my stuff all gets
thrown off.

If anyone can help with this, as there may be some option possibly that I
dont see anywhere. Thanks in advance!

I have tried this with Access 2000 and I justr purchased 2003, but it still
wont work. I am forced to use Access 95, simply becuase that is the only
version that actaully works.

If you are moving the same data elements in and out, consider creating the
table in Access with the field definitions you want. Then use an Append
query, rather than importing or using a Make Table query.

Good luck
