Access=> Data Trunactation
Hello,
I am trying to run a simple query, Epression:X/Y, however I am getting the following error
"Scalling of decimal value resulted in data truncation" can you advise how I can get rid of this error and get Access to run the query?
Cheers

RE: Access=> Data Trunactation
Hi Salima,
Thank you for your question.
I believe it is to do with your Data Types for certain fields.
This message normally means is that your number or data had a whole load of numbers after the decimal point, the length (width) of the field was not enough to display them all so some of the end of the field was lost.
You should try and increase the field size, or, limit the size of the number via the table in design view.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Simon
