Longer than long... Overflow error...*RESOLVED*

[nightshift]

Hey guys,

I got an overflow error while storing the free hdd space on a 120GB into a long variable.

I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this error and come up with a solution?

Is there a variable that holds more numeric digits than a long variable.

Cheers

I can't recall what the limit is for Single but I know it's way more the a Long.
You could try that and if you need more yet try using Double.
That should give you plenty of digits.
