Took me an hour to debug my script which came down to this.
Is this supposed to happen?

a = 61299994817820020404
b = 61299994817820020183
if a = %b%
	msgbox how are these two same?`n`n%a%`n%b%

I can of course add a letter to each variable's contents, compare and then remove - but seriously is that the best way?

Commands, functions, and expressions that accept numeric inputs generally support 15 digits of precision for floating point values. For integers, 64-bit signed values are supported, which range from -9223372036854775808 (-0x8000000000000000) to 9223372036854775807 (0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF). Any integer constants outside this range are not supported and might yield inconsistent results. By contrast, arithmetic operations on integers wrap around upon overflow (e.g. 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF + 1 = -0x8000000000000000).

Oh well, then I was looking for this information with the wrong keywords. Before posting I did a search for 'maximum' and 'length' in the help file, but didn't come up with the text you posted.

Thank you for the quick reply though.

Yes, after your last post I searched for the text you posted and found it in the manual. I meant I just didn't look in the right place before creating this thread.
Thanks again
