Are you returning the results in asp?  if so, you could pull if from the database as it is (.5) then just format it to display as you want...

so instead of (where VarMyFloat = .5):
<% Response.Write(VarMyFloat) %>

you could try:

<% Response.Write(FormatNumber(VarMyFloat),3)) %>

which would just tell it to format the number to display out to 3 decimal places.
