It's set to auto. After hours of stumbling around try'n sql functions and CF formatting I finally tried the left function in the SELECT statement.
<cfquery name="CourseDetail" datasource="OITracker" dbtype="OLEDB"> SELECT CourseName, CourseDate, LEFT(CourseHours, 6) As CourseHours FROM Course WHERE Course.CourseID = #URL.CourseID# </cfquery> For what ever reason this works and pulls in the decimals as I intended them to be. So this will serve as a work around for me, but I still don't understand what's going on.

The field is defined as a "number" with a "field size" as single. The problem is CF is retrieving some decimal values all funny. 2.6 is retrieved as 2.5999999 1.7 is 1.7 1.9 is 1.9 2.9 is 2.9000001 9.99 is 9.9899998 Crazy stuff. They all look fine and as they with in Access but when I retrieve them with a straight Select in CF funny things happen. I can only guess that it something to do with "single" precision thing, but what to do.
