When I enter the line

x = 1.1e-3

in the visual basic editor and hit return, it is automatically
reformated to

x = 0.0011

Can I stop this? It makes it hard to check that constants such as
1.1e-11 are programed correctly.

maybe this
x = "1.1e-3"

You can declare Constants equal to the number and then use the
constants in your code...
Const OnePtOneE_3 As Double = 0.0011
Const OnePtOneE_11 As Double = 0.000000000011

x = OnePtOneE_11 * 2

Maybe something like:

X = 1.1 * 10 ^ -3

or

X = 1.1 * 10 ^(-3) to make sure the -3 is not read as a subtract
operation.
