AcExportDelim or AcExportMerge having problems

[CD Tom]

I have tables that contain number fields set up as Double that have up to 4 decimal places ex: 0.07395. I do a backup of the data using the

Docmd.transfertext acExportDelim,,"Master", "c:\port\master.txt", true

I've also tried the

Docmd.transfertext acExportMerge,,"Master","C:\port\master.txt", true

they both work but the 4 Decimal fields only come across with 2 decimals. So when I restore the data using the

docmd.transfertext AcImportDelim,,"Master","c:\port\master.exe", true

I loose two decimals.
What do I need to do to fix this?
Thanks

I hate to say it, but I have had strange experiences with Doubles showing up with two decimal places when I only want one, but only when I export the numbers or use them in a query (with no format set).

I assume "Master" is a Table? If it was a query, you could set the decimal places using hte Format() function, but if you have many fields, this query then becomes ugly--but it is doable....

Yes master is a table but I have three other tables that are doing the same thing. There has to be a way to export this data and them import it back with the same number of decimals.

The only way I know how to export it is to have it as a field in a query and use the Format() function. It is kind of ridiculous that Access doesn't export based on the settings of the field....

I'll give that a try, thanks.
