Hai...

Hopefully ur guys can help me. I declare data type as float in price table. So the problem here is, whenever i enter a float number and move to the second row to enter a new number. The first number in the first row will automatically change to integer, without no reason. For example "2.3" will become "25".

Is there any configuration that need to do.

How are you entering values to table?
Use query analyser and use insert query

And you hould really stay away from the float datatype. Go with decimal instead...

Can you post table structure and what query you used to insert data?
