Re: VB & ADO don't seem to handle numeric fields

["John Taylor" <john.taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,

What is the "Type" property of the Field object? We want to see "adDecimal"
in there. Also, does the "Value" property of the Field object show correct
numeric data?

What I'm trying to determine is if the ADO driver itself is seeing the data
correctly.

Is the source of the data a table or stored procedure?

p.s. - feel free to take this offline if the delay of the listserver is not
acceptable.
