Double Field Type
When you need more accuracy, for example, when you have a fixed amount of storage in your table or true floating-point values, use the Double data type instead of Numeric. Unlike with numeric data, you determine the position of the decimal point when you enter the value in a table.

When the Double data type is used in a table, the number of decimals specified when the field is created is for display purposes only. Visual FoxPro stores the actual value in the field. |
For specifications about the Double field type, see Visual FoxPro Data and Field Types.
