Then surely Decimal(5,2) would also work?

Herman<T>.Instance 3-Feb-15 7:28am

yep. Gives you 3 digits before the point

Which code leads to:
Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric ?

CHill60 3-Feb-15 7:37am

That's what I've asked the OP

Herman<T>.Instance 3-Feb-15 7:58am

I bet the number he want's to store is larger then 3 digits before the point. Maybe the 5,2 is interpreted as ##,###.## in stead of ###.##

Why don't you change it to decimal (8,2). Than you might see the sent value in the databse (percentage done * 100 twice -> 87.5 will then be 875.00).

Maybe the value from a different parameter or object member was sent to the database by accident.

i think he wants Decimal (2,2)
regarding this Exp (##.##)

Herman<T>.Instance 4-Feb-15 4:29am

2,2 means .##

/\jmot 4-Feb-15 4:41am

Decimal (4,2), which means 4 digits with 2 decimals inclusive.
