[Howard Stern]

do you mean show 500 decimal places?

[XxEvilxX]

yeah i dont care as long as it much more then 100 places

[Howard Stern]

well, i can give you a hint...

Dim dbl as Double

dbl = Val(Text1.Text) / Val(Text2.Text)
Text3.Text = dbl


double will hold 300 and somethin decimal places i think, problem is it will return the number in scientific notation, so you still need to figure out how to convert it to a regular format, which im not sure how to do

I swear you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times, i'm outta here...

it dont work

VB is incapable of doing up to 500 digits after the decimal point.
Here's a way to show 28 places: (You can do up to 324 with Double but then it will give you the scientific form of the number)

Text3.Text = CDec(Text1.Text) / CDec(Text2.Text)

The problem with this is: The more numbers you have to the right of the decimal point, the less you can have to the left...
If you have a number with 28 places after the decimal point, the number to the left of the decimal point can only go up to seven...
