I tried a few exports (with mdb-export on a Debian box) and when I was dumping columns that had been created as "decimal" types, I got a decimal out of them. Is it possible that your decimals are "integer" type? Or maybe even strings? Unfortunately, I know approximately bupkiss about MS Access, so I can't recommend a good method to change your data types, but I'd wager that that's the source of your problem.

It truncates all the decimal information. 7435.45 => 7435. Did you experienced such problem? Where you able to solve it? Thank you.
