Thanks Balazs and David.. I think that's exactly what I was looking for. I searched for hours (and I consider myself a fairly decent researcher) and was just getting frustrated..hah.. I think my problem was I was searching for "money" and "float problems" and such and not "monetary". I think that's the keyword that would have done it for me. I appreciate the help guys! Best of luck to both of you (and anyone else I inadvertantly missed who may have responded). -TG = = = Original message = = = Me again, Sorry for the rtfm stuff, I googled around and found this: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=10719 and another thing, maybe worth a try; MySQL stores decimal numbers as strings...did you try to input decimals as string? I mean not: UPDATE SomeTable SET AmtOwed = 10.74 but: UPDATE SomeTable SET AmtOwed = '10.74' Bye, Balazs ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
