Ok I feel like a dumb a**, Why wouldn't the following code work... Can you not pass cdbl a variable? I tried it the following 2 ways:

code:
Dim $w
Dim $x
Dim $y
Dim $z
$w = "'389955656444'"
$x = CDbl($w)
$y = 355688999545.0
$z = $x + $y
? $z
?
and...

code:
Dim $w
Dim $x
Dim $y
Dim $z
$w = 389955656444
$x = CDbl('$w')
$y = 355688999545.0
$z = $x + $y

? $z
?
I tried searching the forum for cdbl() syntax to no avail... [Confused]
