You don't need an ALTER TABLE for that. Use Double, specify a maximum amount of decimals (for instance 6), let the user choose a number of decimals (for instance, 0-6), and change the corresponding InputMask of relevant textboxes.
I think it is convenient to base the relevant textboxes on a class, with a property for the number of decimals. The number of decimals can be loaded from user preferences on Init(), and the InputMask changed accordingly.
