Incorrect conversion from float to decimal.

[Marina333]

I have two tables in SQL Server with the column name "Quantity".
Table A data type for Quantity field is float
Table B data type for Quantity field is decimal (24,11).

I have an access application that is linked to tables above.
I enter through the Access form quantity 2594334.38.
I query table A in SQL query analyzer and it is 2594334.38.
Then I ran code in access send this number into Stored Procedure in SQL Server which inserts this value into table B.
When I query table B quantity value is stored as 2594334.3399999999.

If I insert directly from Access bypassing the proc then it stores 2594334.38.
Also if I use a smaller number like 94334.38 then proc inserts the correct number.

Can I do something in SQL server proc to make this number back into 2594334.38.
Parameter for this number is declared as float.
I tried the following things but nothing helps:
1. Rounded number to 1 or 6
2. Converted to float.
3. Converted to decimal.

1.I use Access 2003 and SQL Server 2005.
Thank you

Can't you make the structure the same instead?
