How to prevent textbox on report from displaying in scientific notation?

MLH

Textbox on report displays year (1991) in scientific notation
if I raise the font size in that control to above 16 points. It
seems Access 'thinks' 1991 is too big to display properly in the
control, so it reverts to displaying the value in scientific no-
tation (rather stupidly from my standpoint). I don't want that
but it seems I can do nothing about it. Any suggestions.
Report's RecordSource is a query and this IS a bound control.

You might be able to set the Format property to Fixed to work around
this.

Make the text box on the report larger.

That's the work-a-round I went with. It won't always be
the case, having room on the report to do so. But for now,
t'was simpler than converting integer to string, Trimming it
and displaying Text in the field.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Scientific notation - no rounding errors?

by: Joe Attardi | last post by:

Hi all, Math is not my strongest area so forgive me if I use some of the wrong terminology. It seems that scientific notation is immune to rounding errors. For example: (4.98 * 100) + 5.51 // returns 503.51000000000005, rounding error! 4.98e2 + 5.51 // returns 503.51, correct!

DataSet.WriteXML writes decimals in Scientific Notation

I have a DataSet that contains a table with about 6 columns of high accuracy decimal values. When I try to write out the DataSet using the WriteXML() function the XML is written fine, but the decimal values are written out in scientific notation ("9.984348392E+08"). This wouldn't be a problem except when I try to READ the XML file back into a DataSet I keep getting a System.FormatException saying "Input string was not in a correct format."...
