From memory, it might depend on your access version. Newer versions have figured this out (that when you say 2.5 in a percentage field, you mean 2.5% and not 250%). You could simply set it to percentage.

But what if I want to enter “2.5″ on the form and for it to be displayed as “2.5%” and stored as “2.5%” in the table?
