Maybe you didn't correct configure the column. You have to specify the number of places to the right of the decimal, like this:

decimal(10,2) - ten digits, with two to the right of the decimal point.

EDIT ============

I'm curious. If this was "the" answer (which it looks like it was), why did you vote it a 4?
