The problem is that str(number) returns scientific notation for
numbers greater than 6 digits. This means that I must test the number
without using the str function. The example below (Num1 mod Num2)
only works for integers. Since my numbers can be integer or decimal,
I don't think the Mod operator can be used to test for a fractional
part. Is there a function that returns only the fractional part of a
number?

I think you're right -- you have to test whether there is a
fractional part. I'm not sure what calculation you are doing. If
it's division, you could do something like this:
if Num1 mod num2 = 0 then
editfield1.text=format(num1/num2,"#")
else
editfield1.text=format(num1/num2,"#.##")
end if

John, many thanks. My numbers can be both decimal and integer so I
use a format string "########.##" but integer numbers are
displayed with a decimal point at the end. Do I have to manually
remove the point? That seems a bit crude.
