Copy properties one field to another fieldd with different field types

[turguttosun]

I have two different field with different properties as can be shown from photo. 

I need to copy one field  properties to another but it gives error "The value is you entered is out of range or is not a whole number"

First field type is double second one is float. Thanks for answer.

I uploaded file as an mdb. the field name is "munhani".

What method are you using to try and copy. the Float should be able to take the double.

I just created a float field and field calculated the shape length in to it.

Hi @turguttosun ,

Just from a basic data type standpoint Double has a higher range than Float.

Having said that, it is easier to move a data from a Float field into a Double but not the other way around, not without data loss. You may refer ArcGIS field data types

In your case, you will have to Add Field to create a secondary field with field type as Double and use Calculate Field to populate the data.

I hope this helps!

It will still update. But it will truncate it to the length of the float that has been defined.

Which you can specify in the Precision option
