sql server (alternate):

I received a db2 data file that I converted to MS-Access. From Access I
ran the upsize wizard to put the tabel in SQL. It put the table in ok
but all the data types are nvarchar. I have a couple of the fields that
are cureny and some that are numeric.

I need to change the data types from nvarchar to numeric type fields. I
am new to SQL so I do not know all the commands. How do I change the
data type?
