Ohohohh! I like that solution! The previous language I coded in had two types of "if" commands one would convert it to a number if it could before doing the compare, the other would compare it as a string. I have been looking for a way to accomplish the same thing in Basic. Thanks!

I ended up swapping E for X before doing the compare to get the results I wanted. Thanks, Marilyn A.

So the comparison is of two incredibly small numbers. The numbers are so small they are equal for all intents or purposes. My 2c worth.
