>>I agree, but it this is not really standard behaviour. If the decimal is to be floating why even make it necessary to declare the decimals when defining the table. I've always assumed the decimals where defined and held in the header of a table so that the decimal/point doesn't have to be stored in the data.

Hi Jim,

So, with this in mind, why do we have to declare the number of decimals when defining a numeric in the table structure and why is not possible to enter numerics with floating points in the browse window.
