Hi Nicholas,

Yeah I am doing that now at the moment for example as based on the given
example previously:-

I use StrToFloat, if this fails, it raises an exception (Which is fine of
course).

But what I am trying to achieve here is to ensure the data integrity, does
the data meet the float bounds?????

StrToFloat will almost certainly do that too. Give it a try with a really big float, something like 10E1000.

Cheers,
