this is interesting
the following structure works

Code:
  powstring = power

Select Case powstring
    Case "0.001"
'statements

case 1
'statements

case "60.001"
'statements

end select

but not this code

Code:
  powstring = power

Select Case powstring
Case 0.001
'statements

case 1
'statements

case 60.001
'statements

end select
