Persist Heirarchical Recordset to XML - numeric data precision error

Using Access XP for desktop application. Having trouble persisting data from a hierarchical recordset to XML. Code works and XML document is successfully created, but on closer inspection, some numeric fields that contain decimal data are being converted to higher precision. For example, a value of 3.08 from the Access database is being saved as 3.0799998 in the XML document. All fields exhibiting this problem are set as type Single in the Access database and have a decimal precision from 1 to 6 decimals.

Have tried changing field types in Access to Double with no success.

Have not been able to locate any information on this issue. Have been able to reproduce problem on values that have only 1 number after the decimal point (i.e. 4.9) and also on numbers with 2 numbers after the decimal, if the first number is a zero (i.e. 1.02).

In these 2 examples, the XML document would contain 4.899999 and 1.0199999, respectively.

However, this does not occur all the time. Very unpredictable.
