The 16777100 mentioned by Bob is the maximum integer that you can store in a floating point number without loosing accuracy. In MMBasic you do not see an integer as everything is expressed as a floating point number. As the size of a number increases floating point will start to loose track of the least significant digit, this happens at about 16777100. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net
