Make Table Query is converting currency field to a number in the t
I have a make table query that is performing many cost currency calculations.
When you run the query as a SELECT query all of the calculations come out as currency ex: $1.24. This is how I want it to come out. When I run it as a make table query it converts the currency to a number in the table and I am getting 1.2456 instead of the $1.24 that I was getting in the query. I am not sure if this helps but the currency fields in the query are EXPRESSIONS that I created. For the life of me I do not know why. |

Try this: right click on each currency field in the query design grid, and in
the dialog box, type the word Currency in the Format space. HTH Curt Johnson wrote: I have a make table query that is performing many cost currency calculations.

Make Table Query is converting currency field to a number inthe t
Curt,
You could try using the CCur() function in the query. If you still need help with this, it will be a lot easier for potential helpers if you could give some specific detail, examples, and the SQL view of the make-table query. -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP Curt Johnson wrote: I have a make table query that is performing many cost currency calculations.

Make Table Query is converting currency field to a number in the t
Alternatively, you can run the Make Table query manually once. Then go in and
change the fields you want as currency to data type 'currency' (they will probably be type 'number' with field size 'decimal' or 'single'). For the future, instead of re-making the table, simply delete the table contents (with a delete query) and change your Make Table query permanently to an Append query. There's more than one way to skin Access' cat. HTH Steve Schapel wrote: Curt, You could try using the CCur() function in the query.
