Glenda,
I have a trick I use in VBA to fix this when I need to export with leading
or trailing zeroes

Thanks James.
It's not the display that's the problem. I need the trailing zeros when
I export the file to .txt, fixed width format. My resulting number MUST
be 0.00. Ray Blake & Linda Johnson had the right suggestion for this
situation. I was using the wrong formatting for the text field. Oddly,
to get number values with leading zeros as text, I export from Access or
copy/paste to Excel, change the field formatting to display the leading
zeros then copy/paste to an existing all text table back in Access THEN
export to a .txt file and the leading zeros remain. ZEROS are such a
huge problem leading or trailing. sheesh! /g

Glenda,
What you see in the database is only the way the data is stored. It
shouldn't make a difference whether it has trailing zeroes or not. You
can simply change the way the field is displayed in your form or report.
That way it only stores what it needs but is displayed in the format you
require.

You don't want to use #s..you want to use zeroes
Reformat the Excel cells as 0.00...not #.##=20

Subject: [mso] Access Update Query & Trailing Zeros
Hi All.
I import a table of two fields and about 25,000 records from Excel. The
field I'm having problems with is a numeric field formatted as #.##
The data should look like 0.21 or 1.00 or 0.40, which it does...in
Excel.
When I import this data into Access, the values of this particular field
lose the trailing zero. Instead of 1.00, I get 1. Instead of 0.40, I
get 0.4
If I import the data to a text only field, I still lose the trailing
zeros. Brilliant techie that I am, I ran an update query to change 0.4
to 0.40, 0.5 to 0.50, etc.
The update query ran fine with numerous records being updated. However,
when I view the data, I still only see 0.4 and 0.5 without trailing
zeros. I've tried formatting the text field but maybe I'm not doing it
right. I tried re-running the update query but the value is not
found...even though I see 0.4, the system tells me 0.4 does not exist. I
even copied the field value and pasted it to my update query field.
