Author Access 97 Export to text dropping decimal spaces

We are exporting and access table, export delimited, and the statistics have
4 spaces after the decimal. The table reflects for example, 1.7542; after
export to text the data has changed to 1.75. I have tried an export spec., I
have tried changing the field properties to Text; I have tried Double, 4
spaces, on design; etc. Anyone have this issue and how did you fix it - any
suggestions other than send it to Excel (we are trying to avoid at this point
since another application is picking up this text file and using it).

Thank you

Try creating a query, and use the Format function on the field. Export the
query rather than the table.

see also "doubles are rounded when exporting to ASCII",

change the regional settings of your computer, option "No. of decimals after
decimal"
