when i first insert a label from an oracle table that I am connected, a particular field shows up as a whole number which is exactly what i want. for some reason when i "reload labels" a decimal and about 20 zeros show up. the guy who is running the Oracle table insists that this is an AutoCAD 2004 issue but I have looked everywhere i can think of and have not been able to find anyway to prevent this from happening. someone please help if you know anything!
