The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Invalid precision value - ASP insert into Access DB

Asked by matthewdacruz in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: precision, value, invalid, access

Hi

I am getting the following error:

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E21)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Invalid precision value
/hr_v1.00/wz_emp_paydet_ins_1.asp, line 40

This is from a page that was built using the Macromedia Record Update Form Wizard. I created a recordset to select the appropriate record using a Session variable referencing the primary key of table EMP. Then I selected the DB Table EMP and the appropriate fields to be updated in the wizard. When the page tries to do the update I get the error above. The EMP.PayRate and EMP.StdHours fields are currency fields in an access DB but I only get the option to return Numeric values in the wizard. Please can anyone provide a possible solution/workaround?
