The format is almost surely irrelevant. I suspect that you're trying to store
the participation or the attendance (it's not clear from your post where
you're trying to store the 4.5) is a Number field of the default "Long
Integer" size. Open the table in design view, select the field, and look at
the field properties in the lower left. A Long Integer is by definition a
whole number and will not store fractions.

Change the size to Single to allow frational values to be stored.
