If you run this script in DBP the number ends up getting all jumbled into something like: '1.32212e-012'. Why does this happen? Is there any way to prevent this? Maybe setup the variable so there can only be one decimal number?

You can use Int to miss out the decimal places if you want...

Return Integer=INT(Value)

It happens automatically to reduce the number of characters being displayed. Your number '1.32212e-012' is effectively the same as '0.00000000000132212'.

Use the STR$ function and specify the number of decimal places you want to use.
