float casting problem

[Zachm]

For your code to work, there must be some weird data massaging going on in that “external application”. Could they have bit-copied their float to int, saved it as int, but flagged it as float?

Perhaps it is possible that this was the case, but I don't have access to this external application's code - this is a 3rd party application.

Oh, and don't worry about the mentoring bit. You can mentor me any day of the week - as long as your'e trying to be helpful, I wouldn't mind .

Thanks,
Zachm
