decimalsyou chould change the field type to int. does that sound right to

I had the same problem with shp files that I was importing.  There were
numerical values in the DBF file, so when I clicked on a parcel I would
get info similar to "SECTION   10.00000000" when really I just wanted
"SECTION   10".  I don't know if it will help you at all, but I fixed
the problem by making a copy of the folder with my shape files in it,
and editing the DBF file associated with the SHP file.  I changed the
field containing the numerical data to a text field.  And now it
displays properly in my app.

Only for labels and tooltips; that method does not work in the
properties  
pane.
