Having problems with numberformat....

[Sarah Reichelt]

Hi David,

I was able to replicate your result, but it seems to be related to
putting the value into the message box. If I do this:

    set the numberformat to "#.000000000000"
    put 0.006911491563 into projectedWidth
    put -1.000000000000 * projectedWidth into field 1

Then "field 1" contains -0.006911491563

HTH,
Sarah
