"Scaling of decimal value resulted in data truncation"
I got this message when I ran a select query. What does it mean? What do I
do about it? I notice that some of my records have a #error. |

Well, it's possible that it means just what it says: that you tried to put three quarts of milk into a half-gallon bottle. If your Decimal field has a scale of 2, that means you can have only two numbers after the decimal point. If you try to store 4.123154 into this field, the ..3154 cannot be handled, and you'll get... data truncation. It will store 4.12 and truncate the number there. The #Error might mean that you're trying to store a number which won't fit at all - e.g. 312341156.1324 into a Decimal field with precision 5 (or any precision less than 13). John W. Vinson[MVP] |
