<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>One of my coworkers has been rather perplexed with NCONVERT. He
is attempting to convert a number with a decimal component. Instead
of getting a numeric with the decimal component still intact, he is getting in
integer number. He has tried using NUM and FLOAT for the receiving
defined field. Both with the same results. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
