[AccessD] Data entry in table question

Single is short for "Single Precision Floating point Number". Because of the way they are 
stored, Single Precision effectively means 7 significant digits ( in the range -3.402823E38 
to -1.401298E-45 for negative values; 1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive 
values)
