Because of the what? I've never seen a number that Format won't format properly... can you give a simple example?


This example shows an improper Format() return in my views.

        dim strDbl as string

        strDbl = Format(1e+81, "#.#")  // returns ?.

This Format() result is not even numeric (ie., IsNumeric(strDbl) is false.)
