Thanks for your reply. I did notice that in one instance in the database I
was using Numeric for the same type of field. When I changed it to
Numeric, everything worked fine.

Thanks for helping me get my mind on the right thinking path. And I used
double precision also, I don't know why I used Float in this instance,
especially reading somewhere a long time ago that they are not reliable for
precision.

Thanks again. BTW, IBO is a great asset to have and works great.
