>>Hi All
>>
>>I need to store high precision GPS coordinates which can contain up to 14 or 15 decimal places, and up to 3 digits before the decimal, and the sign (which can be negative). What field type should I use/is recommended. Double? What parameters to specify in the table designer? And do I need to specifiy something with SET DECIMALS before trying to save the data into the files?
