'if I have 

dim myNum as Long,yourNum as Long _
myNewNum as Long

mynum = 999999 
yourNum = 8899898

myNewNum = (myNum * yourNum)

I blow up with an overflow

what is the syntax to condense it to avoid the overflow

[dimava]

yea make it:

myNewNum as single
instead of long

if that doesn't work, make it a double

[dimava]

I'm sorry, the single, or double dont work, in the vb book that I have, a double is the biggest thing, sorry, I woun't be able to help

[dimava]

this is the answer:


8899889100102

If you want really high numbers, use Double, otherwise, use Currency.

[dimava]

currency has $ signs doesn't it? in my vb book it says:

Currency - Data that holds dollar amounts from -$922,337,203,685,477.5205 to $922,337,203,685,477.5807. The four decimal places ensure that proper rounding can occer. VB respects your windows international serrings and adjusts currency amounts according to your country's requiremenets. Never include dollar sign when entering vurrency values.
