Sorry to say but that's old news. Basically, CF only allows a 32 bit number
for INTEGERS. This article I wrote about a year back gives a full rundown as
well as all the functions that are affected.

You can get around it by writing your own UDF to do the math for you rather
than using the 'basic' CF functions.
