Hello
I've at first used the solution FloatToStrF(adouble,ffFixed, 20, 10) at first,
but your solution is even more controlable and thus easier.
Thanks

Andries,
Try using FormatFloat() instead of FloatToStrF().
FormatFloat gives you more control over the formatting. If you omit
an E from the format string, scientific notation isn't used unless the
value has more than 18 digits to the left of the decimal point (which
it won't have for a double).
You can force whatever you want using a suitable format string:
e.g.
var
x:double;
s:=FormatFloat ('##############0000.00################',x);
would mean no scientific notation or rounding would be used, and
leading and trailing zeroes would be added to ensure at least 4 digits
before the decimal point and 2 digits after it.
See the Help for FormatFloat, it's very flexible and you can specify
different formatting for positive and negative values.
Martin.
