I have a table in SQL Server that a column uses a FLOAT Data type. If I create a table link in access from that particular table, the column where the data type is a float some values looks odd.

e.g. In my SQL table where a rate is defined it looks like this:
0.00300000002607703

But when I view it in Access it looks like this:

3.00000002607703E-03
Access defines the column as a data type of NUMBER, FIELD SIZE as DOUBLE.

Do I assume these values are equally the same?
 
They look the same to me. Access is showing the number in exponential form (example: 3 x 10E3 = 3000, 2 x 10E-3 = .002 ).
