MS Access linked tables automatically long integers -
i have large amount of linked tables in access database going refreshed regularly , manipulated via queries. however, access automatically determining important fields long integers because beginning values of field 0s. when value not 0, goes 4 decimal places. since have many tables , since replaced each week new table of same name (thus link), not feasible manually change formatting of fields double within excel document itself. there way override linked table field "number" automatically double?
edit: running reports going exported excel documents each week. have set "active" folder has current excel files need import. each week excel files in active folder deleted , replaced files of same name , format, new data. why using linked tables files.
linked table example:
revised_full_cost change 615.194 0 402.402 0 1548.193 -4464 5329.836 0
versus actual excel file:
revised_full_cost change 615.194 0 402.402 0 1548.193 -4464.207 5329.836 0
as can see "change" field being determined integer linked table , rounding when need decimals
figured out (and feel dumb):
when linking tables can choose desired format each field when going through linked table wizard steps.
