Hi.. This is a shot in the dark. I have a field that I have changed from 10 characters to 15 characters. I found some variable problems that I had to change because the maxlength of the entrybox wasn't changing to 15. But now that works OK. Basically I am doing a seek on a variable which can be anywhere from 6 characters to 13 characters in a fifteen character field. I am looking for a val of the character and this has always worked great when it was 10 characters. Now that it is 15 characters I get an error message (that is my own error message if it fails to find the number in another table.) I have trapped the number after I click on go. The number I am looking for right now is 3720940219846. The message box come up correct with that number. But then I get my error that it can't find 3729367E+5. I don't understand what the E signifies. If you add the 7 numbers before the E and add the 5 it does come up to the correct 12 characters.
Does this make any sense to anyone why the E is included? Does it signify an error??
Thanks for any help.
