Why these divisions are not the same

How could I make

Me.Hours = Me.Minutes / 60 to be the same as [Minutes]/60.

Me.Hours = Me.Minutes / 60 doesn't give the correct hour.
If I have 66 minutes, it only gives me 1 hour. But with [Minutes]/60, I get 1.1 hour

You need to change the data type of hours from Integer/Long Integer to Decimal or Single.

Hi Mary,

Where can I change the data type to single or decimal. The table does not have the option to change the data type to Single or decimal.
