I'm airly new to .net and I can't seem to figure out this problem, I hope you
can help...

I'm filling a dataset from an Access database with columns of type =
Decimal. When I load a datagrid with the dataset, the numbers are truncated,
i.e. in Access I see 0.87224505043, in my datagrid i see 0.

Why is this happening?

Hi,

Are you sure that value in a DataSet is 0 or is it just a grid control
displays 0. try to put value from the DataSet into some variable to see what
it holds
