Building query with decimal number

65
I've got this query

Set rst4 = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT L,M,S FROM referenties WHERE type = '" & Form_PatChoise.ctype & "' AND geslacht = '" & Form_PatChoise.Sex & "' AND leeftijd = '" & checkage & "';")

when I remove the single quotes I get an error about a comma to much.

When I let them there I get a datatype missmatch. I can't change the field to text because I use the field to calculate some other values.

I know this could have to do with location settings but why does access allow comma's (,) in a column anyway then. Americans should follow standard (our) rules. We were writing numbers with comma's more than a thousand years ago. Now they change it and everybody has to cope with that.

Same goes for dates GRRRRRRRRRRR

Sry to all Americans but I had to get it out

Ok I solved the problem in some way. I'm now casting everything to string to write it in the table and casting it back to what I need when I read from the table.
