Could someone please help me with a silly little problem that is really
bugging me. I have just started learning Visual Basic and am having
difficulty with the MOD operator.

If I set up a formula using the MOD function in an Excel workbook:

=MOD(2.08, 1) * 100

I get the expected result 8 in the cell.

If I then try to use the MOD operator to get the same result in a VBA
procedu

Var1 = 2.08
Var2 = (Var1 Mod 1) * 100
MsgBox Var2

I get the result of 0 in Msgbox instead of the expected 8.

I have just done some more searching and found a reply to a recent post on
this newsgroup which mentioned briefly that floating point numbers are
rounded to integers and this causes mod 1 to return 0.

Is there any way of using the Mod operator to get the result I am after or
is it a lost cause?

PS. A second question €“ is it possible to change the names of modules in the
Project Explorer?
(I find that lists of names like module 1, module 2, module 3 etc. in the
tree under each workbook are not very informative to help you remember where
you wrote a piece of code and would like to change them to something more
meaningful. What looks like the obvious solution - right-clicking on the
module name in the tree - takes you to a dialogue box that only lets you
change the project name).
