Dave, How did you put the value into the object? OB SET($obj;"pi";String(PI)) OB SET($obj;"pi";PI)
Is the issue that coercing a real to text using OB GET is using a different algorithm than the String function or that putting a numeric value in as a string causes it to be stored with a different precision than the string? Good catch, BTW.
