So SQL_NUMERIC is DOUBLE? Sorry, I'm not an insider ;)

Access supports DECIMAL file type with a range from -9.999... x 10^27
to +9.999... x 10^27 while DOUBLE goes from -1.797 x 10^308 to
1.797 x 10^308.

Actually, older Access had problems with DECIMAL fields in the past,
maybe those got fixed already?

Best regards,
