use a double. Numbers in the Excel sheet are doubles

from the immediate window:
a = application.combin(60,20)
? a
4.1918445058055E+15

Is there a way for a large number to be assigned to a variable? For
example:

Dim maxlen as Currency

Sub
maxlen = application.worksheetfunction.combin(60,20)
End sub

maxlen produces an overflow error. Is there a way around this?
