The number can be 10 digits long but can not have any decimal values (all whole numbers). It seems like an integer works ok for an 9 digit number but does not work for a 10 digit number. I'm not sure how I can confirm this. Should an integer handle a 10 digit number and if not, what is a better option for a 9 digit number. Thanks. Bill
