Question

I have some fields in a SQL table which are type decimal(x,y). In the VBA how do I represent these in the ADO parameters for a stored procedure argument? For example, a varchar would be declared using adVarChar:

Set prm = cmd.CreateParameter("@ColumnX", adVarChar, adParamInput, 50)

Have a look at this page:

• ADO Data Types

The two data types you may be interested in are adDecimal and adNumeric. The following post describes the difference between the two:
