Major Issue. Access rounded all the dollar amounts up to the next dollar in the DB I am working on for a bookstore. Anyone know how and why it would do this. Are there any solutions to getting my prices back without having to go in and chage all 1300 records?

Thanks
 
What did you do to make it do that?

(You may need to restore from a backup depending on the answer to the above).

I am not aware of anything I might have done. I am still pretty new to Access so I might not have realized I had done something. Then there is also the dreaded someone in the office with less knowledge about Access than myself tinkering with the db.

Can you suggest any possible things I might have done?
 
What are the data type / format / decimal places for this field in your table design? It is possible that someone changed something there (without changing the underlying data).

The data type is Currency, Format is currency, and the decimal places are 2. What happened was bascially any book that was say $6.95 is now $7.00 the decimal place stayed the same and the format just the price was rounded up. I'm just looking for an easy way to change back if possible. I have added new records since this problem developed and these prices have stayed at the amounts I entered them in as.

The original records were imported from Excel, but they imported correctly. I am not sure when the prices changed, my boss noticed it on a report I made for her.
