An integer is a whole number while a float is a decimal number, e.g., 3.14.
As I understand it, ASP/Visual Basic treats each of these variables as more
or less the same, though you can use subtypes to make the variables more
specific.
I hope I'm not speaking through my hat.

Thank you Ben... I think my confusion comes when they are both entered the
same... I need a course on column types and what it all means. Learning by
association doesn't always help with those details.

You can get this information from the help files associated with your
database product. :-)
I'm always amazed at what you can find by looking in online help, and why
more people don't do it.
(of course, if you don't know what an integer or a float is, then a
dictionary will help you out there...)
Cheers
Ken
