error with decimal values as views argument

G'Day Views people,

My apologies in advance for not being quite sure where in the pipeline my problem is situated. Since I see it through Views, you're my starting point!

Using CCK, I've set up a UID field that identifies instances in a collection of content nodes. Simply: the client has a bunch of projects, each with a UID.

The UID is in the form of x.xx...and for various reasons, this is an important format to maintain.

So I have a CCK field that is storing these values: field_project_uid

The field is type = decimal, decimal marker = decimal, scale = 2

I created a View that should allow me to pass the UID as an argument value. But a show-stopper problem arises:

The view query rounds off my decimals.

Eg, for the UID argument = 1.03, I have this value statement formed by Views:
(node_data_field_project_uid.field_project_uid_value = 1)

Here's the entire query:

SELECT node.nid AS nid,
   node.title AS node_title
 FROM node node 
 INNER JOIN content_field_project_uid node_data_field_project_uid ON node.vid = node_data_field_project_uid.vid
 WHERE (node.type in ('book', 'project_portal')) AND (node_data_field_project_uid.field_project_uid_value = 1)
 

The View fundamnetally works since passing an "all" wildcard does return the content I'm looking for...but obviously the argument is malformed.

What to do next?

Thanks,

JB
