My download #10044 can handle almost any number of digits. However, be forewarned: if you need lots of multiplications or divisions, it will be much too slow for your purposes. Perhaps you better find some programs written in C or C++ that do the same thing. It seems that somebody compile a DLL somewhere, that could be called from VFP.

HTH, Hilmar.
