Have you looked at Double and Float types?

>I built a number to word converter that can handle numbers up to 999 quadrillion. I know that sounds like a number your kid brother would make. But unfortunately once you hit quadrillion or higher either you lose digits or the number gets rounded incorrectly. Is there any way to correct this problem without breaking the number into two separater fields or storing it in an unusual format like a double field.
