Have you tried FormatFloat, e.g.:
Edit.Text := FormatFloat(',#0', yourValue);
Playing around with this should give you the results you need.
As an aside, not sure if it is a Delph 5 only problem but don't rely too
much on the Evaluate/Modify dialog box results with extended values.

From: Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] asked:
I need to be able to display very large numbers (precision > 16) in text
strings. After some swearing and shouting, I find that I am able to
manipulate the numbers using the Delhpi Extended data type (Delphi 5
Enterprise).
But I cannot get them to display. Using the formatting routines simply
produces scientific notation - and I need to be able to see the actual
number as a string.
