I have successfully converted a couple of Image Databases to Image/SQL and am able to access them using MS/Access, Excell and Word. However some of the DB's contain real numbers (R2 and R4) data types. Following the directions in the manual, I updated the type in the DBE to CHAR(4) and CHAR(8) respectivly. This however puts the data in an unviewable format. The problem that I have is I need to be able to view these fields with their correct values, have call the response center and they haven't gotten back to me with a fix yet. Help!! Anyone who can help answer this it would be greatly appreciated.
