Default How do I set it up so that the table and form shows 2 decimal plac

Hi

In my database, I have a field that deals with time spent on an activity.

The desired time interval is 0.25 for every 15 minutes.

For example, if a person spent 30 minutes on an activity, I want 0.5 to be
the value.

What is the proper way to set this up?

I tried Fixed, General, Scientific. The number entered is always rounded up.

Thanks

Open your table in design view and check the properties for your number
field to see if it is Number - Long Integer. If so then change to Single or
Double.
