Showing decimals in Access pivot table

Hi,
I am running a pivot table based on a query. I need to be able to
display decimal precision for on a calculated field (in the query).

The query returns the values correctly (i.e. with the number of
decimals specified), the pivot table - when viewed as a regular form -
shows decimals, but the pivot itself displays only the suffix ,00.

I am using Access 2003.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Open your pivot table form in design view, select the calculated control(s)
that you want formatted, view properties, then set the Format to fixed or
standard, and Decimal Places to the required number. Close, save and view;
your controls will now show the decimal precision that you specified.

As far as I can see this doesn't work. Changing the field to fixed
only puts .00 on the end - eg 2 now shows as 2.00 not 2.34 as it really
should be.

I am facing problem like; We generate reports thru Excel Pivot table. The data is coming from sales cube. Let?s assume that there are 2 products A and B. The user wants to filter for each product and view ?stock in hand? and ?total sales? for particular month (as two columns). From the Pivot table filtering, when we choose product A and month ?Jan?, it is showing values for ?stock in hand? and ?total sales? columns for that month.

Ok. I upgraded to MS Access 2003 recently and now I am having great heartache. In Access 2002, when I opened a table to view the data, there were wonderful little "plus" signs that I could click on for each record that would open up the corresponding record in any linked table. I could drill down and edit/add records in a most efficient and simple manner. In Access 2003, this is GONE! ARGHH!

I consider myself an Excel PT wizard of sorts, but now I have a situation with so much infromationthat I need to categorize and summarize, that I will use access to manage it. Interestingly, though, the pivot tables in excel 2003 do not resemble the pivot tables in access 2003 as closely as they did previous versions of the products. One of the most powerful features for me is the grouping function. In excel 2003 if one right clicks date...

Okay So I've got pivot tables setup in Access 2003. Only about 30K records in the current 2005 databases...the pivots summarize the info in a number of nice ways. I need to get the pivot tables into a document so I can distribute the tables, as is, as an electronic report (without the detailed data) So I export to rtf and xls, and I get an error that there is a too much information. I don't want all the data, just the summary table!

When I click on a record in the pivot table, I want the Address for that selected record to be displayed in the textbox below. What I have currently...
