Field Name - Data Type - Percentage

wrote: What were your settings to get the field to show correctly? for a grade book I want to enter in 99% (data entered as 0.99 into the field) as the grade and created a percent field, yet like you said below it comes out as 0.00% for any grade I enter. This will happen if you use the default Long Integer number datatype for the field. A Long Integer is by definition a whole number - 0 is legal, 1 is legal, but 0.99 isn't and will truncate to 0. Use a Single instead. -- John W. Vinson [MVP]
