When I link to a SQL Server 2000 table from Access (97 or 2000), a column that is defined in SQL Server as decimal, 4 digits to right of decimal point, shows as a currency column in the Access link and is rounded to 2 decimal places. These happen to be currency columns as far as the real data, but the problem is that the display in Access is rounding to 2 decminal places unless you do some formatting. It should display all 4 decimal places when I open the table. How can I fix this problem?
