Importing into FMP and floating point numbers

[Joel P]

We have an Access 2003 database that is set up to append records to several FMS tables using the SequeLink ODBC driver. We are having problems with floating point numbers in the way I'm sure many people are already familiar with (such as 1.1 is now 1.1000000000000000888, as described in another post). Is there a way to adjust the append from Access to eliminate this problem? Or else, what about exporting records from a layout to Excel using the number formatting that is in the layout setup for that field?
