Which IEEE format exactly are you looking for?
Which IEEE format exactly are you looking for?
The reason I ask is because Double variable types are IEEE 64 bit floats. Singles are IEEE 32-bit floats. What other type would you be looking for?
mind if I ask what exactly IEEE format is?! I know its probably a stupid question, but I havent a clue what it means...
I may be way off here but i think that VB uses IEEE format does it not ?
Yes Pierre, for single and double, vb follows IEEE specifications for those datatypes. There are other specifications that he might want, but unless he tells us we won't be able to help.
JonFish, IEEE stands for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, they design a lot of industry standards for electronics and IT.

Nicely done Anthony. :) But what was the question about?
Paul,
Who knows! Talk about a blast from the past. I have not used those functions in nearly 10 years. I remember the angst it created some deveopers when they were dropped going from MS Basic to Visual Basic. Something similar going on now with some archaic functions getting dropped going to VB.NET.
