Well, I'd say IBX is creating your fields as TCurrencyFields, I'm not sure
if this is the same on D2007 but with older versions, currency suports only
4 decimal places. Can you confirm that?

Have you tryed DECIMAL (15,6) and see if it results the same behavior?!

If you're willing to pay for (and I must say, they're not expansive at all)
the most popular (ad great component sets) are IBO and FIB Plus, with the
last being the most easy to migrate from IBX since they come from the same
initial code in the past.
