I'm with Chuck. Though my inclination is to focus on the tail end of
the process first. That is, my *first* question is: What exactly is
showing you the value 5.00E+72? 999 times out of 1000 problems like
this are because the data is CSV and the application being used to
read it is Excel. And when this is the case, no amount of quotation
marks will save you. I can go into ways to remedy this, but first I'd
like to confirm that it's Excel.
