.30000000000000000004 is an 19 place accurate, 20 place number. real is 6 place, double is 12, a native 64 bit real would be 19 place. You're getting the most accurate version of the out of the box "real" numbers. To keep your "most" accurate answer, add 1 and when you render the result, it would be "result/10."

True, Redmond's a long way west of RSA. One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

That is fifty-five presses too many. best, Bill It keeps me humble to think there's more bacteria in my gut than neurons in my brain, and that twenty trillion neutrinos pass through one hand a second, and that the average mattress contains 20 million bedbugs each of whom shits once per hour.

It'd be a little better if it was JS, and not a .gif :p -= Reelix =-

This sort of thing is becoming integral to CP, isn't it?

omg, that is a very clever habit to get into! I love it - and am almost ashamed I haven't though to do that...that little typeo gets me every now and then ________ John Y. Developer

I eventually succumbed to using a highly reccomended DLL :) http://www.chestysoft.com/imagefile/manual.htm [^][^] Work fantastically! :) -= Reelix =-

Don't do that - you'll give yourself a headache... the point is, as far as your VBScript is concerned, the exe *is* on thw local machine, so you should be able to use your Google'd examples to create your code. "Local machine" doesn't mean "client machine", it means local....

Aaah! Thanks alot! Works perfectly :) -= Reelix =-

Nope. Windows XP has nothing to do with it since Windows isn't running when the BIOS screens are visible. You'd have to know exactly where the color number is stored in the BIOS Flash code, change the value, then reflash your system BIOS with the updated code. You, more than likely, will not find any information on the web on how to do this since noone to very, very few people ever does attempts it, let alone succeeds at it.
