I am stuck and need help.  I was asked to help with a company project 
that seemed simple enough.  We are entering claims in a simple 
database then each record is exported to a text file where it is 
electronically transferred to the supplier and processed at their end 
so we can receive our credit for the claim.  Iam using the following 
statement to create the text file:

DoCmd.TransferText 
acExportDelim, "EDI_Export", "qryFilteredEDIForRowCount", strPathFile

Here is the problem I am having.  On some of the records the value in 
the quantity field, price field and Extension field are being 
converted to scientific notation.  I have tried changing the format 
in those fields, changing the size from single to double to variant 
with no luck.  Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong or if 
there is a setting in Access (I am using Access97) that will give me 
the export without scientific notation?

Thank you All

Sidenote: (I have noticed if I set the field size as single and do 
any calculation against that field it will actually change the value 
of the field itself, eg I enter .0027 and multiply by 1 returns a 
value of .002700000067003546.)
