[AccessD] Value Truncated in Access Link to SQL Server Table

The problem was that I only got 2 decimal places instead of the 5 I needed.
I was pretty surprised that a Decimal type in SQL Server couldn't be
completely understood in an Access table link.  I'm going to guess that
there is something in the ODBC link which is insufficient for a SQL Server
decimal type.

In the past I have also used the decimal field type so you should be able to
have decimal(18, 6) as well as a float type
