I have a view in an OLD SQL7 db that I need to access through MS Access
2003. When I link to the view through ODBC it converts a Decimal (18,4)
to a Long Integer and I don't get decimal places when I look at it in
Access. This is kind of odd, so I created a new table in the SQL7 db
with 2 fields: id and dist_amt. ID is int and dist_amt is Decimal (18,4)
When I link this table through the same ODBC connection, access keeps it
Decimal (18,4) and I can use decimals in it. What might be the
difference and is there any way to force the ODBC connection to use
Decimal and not convert to Long Int?
TIA
