ADO NumericScale Attribute
Definition and Usage
The NumericScale attribute sets or returns a Byte value indicating the number of decimal places to which the numeric value of the Field or Parameter object must be accurate.
| Object | Description of NumericScale attribute |
|---|---|
| Field |
For the Field object, NumericScale is typically read-only. However, for a new Field object added to the Fields collection of a Record, NumericScale is read/write only when the Field's Value property has been specified and the data provider has successfully added the new Field by calling the Update method of the Fields collection. |
| Parameter | For the Parameter object, the NumericScale property has read/write access. |
