Try declaring your variables as long.
Dim intMyNumber as Long

the sky is blue because it reflects the ocean!

Change ur variable data type, so that it can hold bigger number.

Check out this early post.

Number size is limited to the data type you use, ine xample, integers max = 2032 or somewehre around that

The reason the sky is blue is due to the shemicla, soxygen carbod dioxide, nitrogen passing throught the sun....or at least thats what i think

The ocean is blue for the same reason that the sky is blue. The blue of the ocean is caused by scattering of sunlight by tiny particles suspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wave length, is scattered more effectively than light of longer wave lengths.
