Access query not keeping decimal places from underlying table
Hi
I have an Access query that totals the Amount column (2 decimal places)but somehow doesn't keep the decimal places. How do I get around this?

SELECT Transactions.ID, Transactions.SupplierName, Transactions.Reference, Transactions.[Transaction Date], Sum(Transactions.Amount) AS Invoiced
FROM Transactions
GROUP BY Transactions.ID, Transactions.SupplierName, Transactions.Reference, Transactions.[Transaction Date], Transactions.DocType
HAVING (((Transactions.DocType)="Invoice"));

do you have the data type for the 'Amount' set to double in its table?
sorry i meant to say that for the 'Amount' field check the table for the following settings, presuming you want it to 2dp
Data Type: Number
Field Size: Decimal
Scale: 2
Decimal Points: 2
Data Type: Number
Field Size: Decimal
Scale: 2
Decimal Points: 2
Are you displaying this in a texbox on a form? If so, make sure your textbox isn't formatted to no decimal.

Do you mean that :
if the sum is 123.45 then the result shows as 123
OR
if the sum is 123.45 it shows as 12345
which?
