hi all,

in the immediate window ( typing: ? Val("&H" & "4124EC7DE6666666") and in calc, if i
convert

4124EC7DE6666666 to decimal

then i get 4.6941367371074376E+18 (or 4694136737107437158).

i know ahead of time however that the decimal value should be 685630.95000000000. why is
it that i am getting the former number in VB and calc?
