Hi Cetin,

Thanks for the feedback. I originally wrote this code a few years back & I am just now revisiting that project. The idea is that the number you're getting is user input, or import from a file with an unknown number of decimal places (if any), so I could not define lnSignificantdecimals up front. Unless I am missing the true meaning behind your post... if so, please explain.
