Thanks for your help Viatcheslav,

but unfortunately the data_type 'Float' doesn't work when using it with a MS
Access database.  I have been searching endlessly to find documentation for
this, but can't seem to find anywhere where it clarifies the data_types
available when operating with a MS Access database.

the data_types I have been using so far (unsucessfully) are: Float, Double,
Decimal(n,m), Long Integer, LongInt, Long.

I have a feeling that I have to first set the field to Integer than somehow
change it the type of integer to be a Double, but I can't seem to work out
whether this theory is correct.

If anyone is a wiz with MS Access and/or know of a book or web site that may
assist in this area than I would more than greatful.
