Try to simply divide the numbers. If the result is not exactly 1, then

That doesn't really help. When I read the cell value, even though it clearly
has a five-decimal-place number in it, the value returned in VB is four
decimals long. In other words if I try to fix the database, it gets "fixed"
with the wrong number.

Why is it that when I refer to the cell I get a rounded number?
