cant input decimal numbers in fields

Have a db that uses tare values. those tare values will be input by the user..
the problem is cannot give values to the fields with comas or points
example: "0.05" or "0.012"
the field wont keep the value
do u have any ideia where i went wrong????

1. Open your table in design view.

2. Select the problem Number field.

3. In the lower pane, change the Field Size property from
Long Integer
to
Double

The integer types cannot store fractional values.
