If you change them to a decimal and set the dps to 6 you should be sweet. On export, you will often get the fields truncated to the format of the labels, if there are any. Seems a bit random at times.

I have imported one into mapinfo...and the labels only appear as 3(X) or 4(Y) decimal places, but the info tool still has the full 6. So thinking that when i exported the file again, i'd get the full 6...but i don't i get 3 and 4 for X and Y respectively...like on the labels. How can i keep the full 6dc??
