Exporting a 3 decimal number to text file produces trunc 2 decimal text number
I've found that the only way I could accurately control what showed up
in a text export was to build a query based on the correct data, which
pre-converts everything to string format. In other words, the
non-string fields all end up being:
Format$(myfield,"myformat")
Your issue is that the export spec probably has a default set up for
only bringing 2 decimals over. This unfortunately plays into the export
in ways I couldn't predict, so I would use Format$(yourfld,"##.000") in
your case, to make sure it always end up with the right decimals.
Hope that helps.
