Alter table alter column in MSACCESS. How can I do it for a decimal field?

Hi people,

I?m trying to alter a integer field to a decimal(12,4) field in MSACCESS 2K.

Example:
table : item_nota_fisca l_forn_setor_pu blico
field : qtd_mercadoria integer NOT NULL

ALTER TABLE item_nota_fisca l_forn_setor_pu blico
ALTER COLUMN qtd_mercadoria decimal(12,4) NOT NULL

But, It doesn't work. A sintax error rises.

I need to change that field in a Visual Basic aplication, dinamically.

How can I do it? How can I create a decimal(12,4) field via script in MSACCESS?

Thanks,

Euler Almeida

I didn't not get any syntax error. Then again, I tried this on SQL Server,
since SQL Server is the focus for this newsgroup.

If you are working with an Access database, you are better of in an
Access newsgroup like comp.databases. ms-access.

I am trying to create a macro to change a data type in a column. The table was created using a "make-table" query, and the column(s) I want to modify were created using a calculation in my query. Therefore, the data in the column has a lot of numbers after the decimal. I could go into the table's design view and change the decimals from Auto to 2, and the format to Percent, however I would like this to happen automatically after the...
