I was wondering if there is a piece of code you can use in qb45 that will make it possible to print a number beyond 9,999,999? I noticed that while you can print 10000000, whenever you have a variable that prints the same number, it comes up as: 1E+07
thanks for any help.

like this:
put the # on you variable to keep it from doing scientific notations..

More specifically, # defines a number as double-precision. Eventually you will hit a point where those go into xE+yy form as well, except it'll say xD+yyy instead.
You could also have done the following:
DIM num AS DOUBLE
or:
DEFDBL N
The first one declares num as a variable of type double. The second one automatically makes any variables starting with the letter N double precision.

Shouldn't you make it a Long type (num&)?

In the library section, there is a lib called "BigINT" that can handle huge #s, not just ints though.
