Than I would suggest using Decimal instead of Double.  When using  
Decimal, remember to always use Strings to convert to/from Decimal.   
If you just use a number, it can be converted to Double by RB before  
being converted to Decimal -- loosing you the accuracy you're trying  
to achieve.
Good luck.
