I have seen alot of misconception about using the number of decimal places and the format properties in the form. These are just the display format. They do not affect what is stored in the database. The data type of the column in the table must be Number with the field size of single or double if you want it to contain decimal places. A data type of currency will store only two decimal places. A data type of number with a field size of integer or long will store no decimal places.

I wasn’t clear — I don’t want my values to round and they are. E.g., I enter 1.50 and get 2.00. I’ve tried setting the number format to fixed with auto decimal places, fixed with 2 dec places, general with 2, etc and it continues to round. HELP!
