RE: The target for a numeric operation is too small to holdthe result

["Ted Barry" <TBARRY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The result is -226.565217391304347826086956521739 and eval(r) didn't work.  
Wouldn't rounding work and prevent an error?

I think you're getting three digits to the left of the decimal point.
