Access 2002 and higher.
If you can, put your DB in ANSI-92 compatible syntax.
How:
With the focus on the Database window, on the main menu select: Tools >
Options > Tables/Queries tab > SQL Server Compatible Syntax (ANSI-92) -
check "This Database."
Then you can use DAO and DDL statements to create a table w/ a Decimal
data type.
Warning: The use of wildcards will change to % in place of * and to _
in place of ?.
