Shows it how? MsgBox takes a string, not a number. How are you
converting it?
The code is:
dim n As Double
n = kBetaTimeout
MsgBox str(n)
I added the extra step of declaring the variable n as Double and
assigning it the constant's value as a test to make it sure it wasn't
an integer overflow issue. I was pretty sure the constant is declared
as a double (despite its "Number" naming), but since it wasn't working
correctly as simply "MsgBox str(kBetaTimeout)", I figured it was worth
a test. When I observe this in the debugger, n's value is also 0.

And in the module, does the constant have a numeric icon, or something
else? When you select it, what is the type shown it the constant
editor area?
The icon is a little circle with ".01" inside. The Type popup reads "Number".

If it is, it's a new one to me -- and I use a lot of numeric constants.
I suspect something else is at play.
Can I send you my very simple test project offlist?
