Thanks André;

I've declarated the FbConnection, and FbCommand.
Everything works fine with connection and Command.

If I send a Query like this:
SQLString = "INSERT INTO MyTable(CANT) VALUES(MyAmount)"

considering the Field CANT as String, and the same thing for MyAmount,
FireBird has no problem to save the data.
the problem is, when CANT is Decimal data type, or Numeric, or Float.

Any one?

How to save a decimal data type in Firebird from an app??
doesn't matter if the programming languaje is other than VB.Net

I need to know how to save a decimal data into firebird like this: 25.80

thanks

Francisco,
to me this does not look like proper code for .net.
Personally I am using C#, but I know quite some of VB.net.

You need:
- a Command object (of Type FbCommand)
- a Parameter object (of Typ FbParameter)

look at the following links for further guidance to VB.net in this
regard:

http://www.java2s.com/Code/VB/Database-ADO.net/PassParameterintoSQLcommand.htm

Have fun!
