When I use Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\;Extended Properties=""text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited'"""
I get the values from the fields but if the data is decimal/double they are truncated to integers. How to avoide this? Do you have any ideas? Thanks for any suggestions.

I use it like this, and it works without any truncation.

VB

Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [x.txt]", "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\;Extended Properties=""text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited""")
Dim ds As New dataset
da.Fill(ds)

contents in c:\x.txt
