Hello group,

i want to thank the people below for their reply on my question.

In my opinion the easiest way is the 1st_table extension,
that Jack O'Connell mentioned. But this extension shareware.
You can retrieve it from www.shareit.com

The other solutions are very useful to.

The Coordinate Tool Box from Dr. Arun K. Saraf, does not change
the decimal spaces in the table, but in the view.

There is not directly, but you may use a workaround.
First create a new field with the proper decimals and copy all values to
it with the field calculator. Then delete the old field and create it
again with the proper decimals. Copy your values back to it and delete
the fake field.
I have to mention that DBase's, FoxBase's, FoxPro's etc. modyfy
structure commands are working the same way, but in ArcView you have not
such a command. Do not try to modify the structure in the above
mentioned softwares because you may get in trouble with the indices
connectind dbf to the shp.

There is no direct way to do that in ArcView (in my knowledge) unless if
you create a new field and repopulate the cells. The way I solved the
problem was by opening the dbf file in Excel and set the number of decimal
points.
Please see attached image.
Load you theme again, or if it is loaded, refresh the table.
I hope this would help.



Dr. Arun K. Saraf

Yes! there are ways. Sometime back I developed an extension called
Coordinate Tool Box (available on ESRI Script page) which shall do what
you have desired.
Please use it and acknowledge the same.

The extensions 1st_Table, and Compiled Table Tools both have a tool to
do this
