Exporting number fields and retaining the decimal point position

M

Max

hi,

easier to give an example:-
I have a field described as a double with 4 decimal places
eg 0.005
when i export it to a csv file it becomes:-
5.0e-03
fair enough, but what i really want is 0.005. I don't want to change the
field to text. I want retain it as a number (of any sort)
If Access won't do it, is there another tool i could use?

help

Create a query and give format to your field
mifield=format(field,"0.0########").

Then export the query to CSV.

I got this trick from this group of news.
