Re: Scale option not available

The precision and scale for money is fixed and not user
defined in SQL Server.
If for some reason you need a different precision and scale
from what money uses, you will need to change the data type
to decimal (or numeric) data type.

I have a database I converted from Access that has a column formatted as
money. Before the conversion the number of decimal places was set at 2 but
somewhere along the way it became 4. However, I am unable to change the
scale as that option is not available.

I am relatively new to SQL Server 2005, so there may be something simple I
am missing. Thanks for the help in advance.
