Hey Gustav
How does Decimal differ from Double or Currency and do you know why it 
was added as a data type?  As Edward has confirmed when Access does the 
conversion "you have to hunt through the app and fix things by hand".

That said, Decimal should be avoided as data type in tables as it is known to be buggy. In VBA, however, it can be quite useful.

Just out of curiosity (because I don't know what it is supposed to be 
used for) where would you use it in VBA?

Thanks
