How do I format numbers in tables to hold two decimal places?

RE: How do I format numbers in tables to hold two decimal places

Hi Christine,

Switch to design view, and click on the Data Type cell of the field you want to add decimal places to.

Look at the Field Properties below. Under the General tab, you can adjust the Decimal Places value (third property down). Type 2, or choose 2 from the drop-down box.

If this answers your question, please mark this question as resolved.

Hope you enjoy your Access Intermediate Course tomorrow.

Regards, Rich

Access tip:

Space marks

It is good practice not i to have space marks for field names as this can lead to problems when using queries or VBA code. It is much better to use an underscore charcter to represent spaces in field names
