I am fairly certain the issue here is the number being exported is not something that can be represented as a machine number on your system. On my system: In[3]:= {$MinMachineNumber, $MaxMachineNumber} Out[3]= {2.2250738585072014*^-308, 1.7976931348623157*^308} anything outside of this range cannot be represented by a machine number. Consequently, Mathematica has no simple and obvious way to do what you appear to want. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
