I have a table in a SQL Server 2000 database which is linked in an Access 2003 front end. The table has 3 fields, "Overhead" (numeric), "DateEffect" - (DateTime), and "ID" - (numeric, identity, key). I'm having an odd problem I've never experienced before.
When I open the table in SQL Server, the value in "Overhead" is 2.25, and shows correctly as numeric. When I open the same table through Access 2003, the value shows as $2.25, and the format in design view is listed as currency.
I have updated the linked tables twice, and even changed the field format to decimal on the server and updated the linked tables again, but it still comes up this way. What could be causing this error?
