Decimal Formatting Help

Yes I know that I Need to tighten up on it.

Pretty much everyone does to begin with. I think that it's often because data goes into and out of a console application as text and VB in particular can be quite forgiving in many cases, performing implicit conversions much of the time. Proper use of data types is critical to create software of any significance though.

Yeah, I will be working on that. Thank you again for the help!

That whole formatting issue was because the user can predetermine a set increment value that I have defined in the code but what about a custom increment value that the user defines, not me? I thought doing something like .ToString("n#") would work but no. I need something to figure out how it can calculate if the custom value is either an integer or a decimal number then figure out if decimal, how many places it should go to then do the same basic format as the .ToString("n1") does. Is this possible in Visual Basic?.
