Hi Fabio,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Is it too much to ask for mathematical function that I believe the schools are teaching around the 3rd grade to just 'work right'? 823.4721345000 * 10 = 8234.721345000 except when I situationally decide to tack a 1 on the end of it? I think that's not how they're teaching it <g>.

Thanks again... I'll be toying w/ a few ideas & see what works best for me.
