asp exponent problem

| Hi
It seems like asp is converting -0.04 to -4.00000000000063E-02
If you run the below code it prints -4.00000000000063E-02
Is there anyway ASP to keep it as float number instead of exponet. Or
is there a function to convert exponet to float number? Thanks in
advance.

<%
dim sgPoint
sgPoint = 100 - 100.04
response.write (sgPoint& "<br>")
%>

| Hi, Use FormatNumber...
Response.Write (formatnumber(sgPoint,2))

There IS no exponent type. The number is already a floating point number:

Response.Write(TypeName(sgPoint)) 'Double
What you want is a string representation of the number, and FormatNumber()
will give it to you.
