    Question

    Hi!

    Try to execute PRINT 30000 + 30000. You can use VBasic instead of QB, but result is same - Owerflow error.

    But 30000 + 40000 is not so big problem...

    It seems you can't to get numbers between 32767 and 62767 (?) when using lower (integer-type) numbers. - This was also the source of my problem when accessing large files; I couldn't set such position number, using any method.

    Okay, you can use 40000 + 30000 + 30000 - 40000, but this is a little bit silly, isn't?

    You can use a AS LONG, b AS LONG; then PRINT a + b, but this is also not so friendly method.

    Does anybody know hot to remove this problem?

    Try:
    Code:
    Debug.Print 30000& + 30000&
    The appended & forces it to a Long.

    Hi,

    You can also use a decimal point.

    Code:
    debug.print 30000. + 30000.
