Dear Mathgroup,
I have a list "data" with 15 couples of numbers.
data = {{11111.222223333344444, 0.0000000000000005},
                             {11111.2222233333, 0.00000000005},
                             {11111.22222, 0.000005},
                              {11.2233, 0.00005},
                             {11.223300000000, 0.0000000000005} ,
                             {11.2233000000000000000,  
0.00000000000000000005},
                             {1234000., 0.5},
                             {1.234, 0.0005},
                             {1234000.00005, 0.000005},
                             {1234000000.000054321, 0.0000000005},
                            {0.00001234, 0.000000005},
                             {0.00012340000000000,  0.00000000000000005},
                             { 1.0*1020, 0.5},
                             { 100000000000000000000., 0.5},
                              {1.0*103, 0.5}}

I need to prepare a Table like the following

TableForm[Table[{i, NumberForm[data[[i, 1]], 20],
                                       Precision[data[[i, 1]]],
                                      -Log[10, data[[i, 2]]/data[[i, 1]] ],
                                       Accuracy[data[[i, 1]]],
                                      -Log[10, data[[i, 2]]]
                                  }, {i, 1, Length[data]}],
  TableHeadings -> {{}, {"i", "x", "Precision[x]", "-Log[10,Abs[err/x]]",
                                        "Accuracy[x]", 
"-Log[10,Abs[x]]",}}]

You can observe that  the second column "x" shows the data[[i,1]].
Unfortunately, in some cases (i=5,7,9,10,12,13,14,15),
the printed value is not EXACTLY equal to the corresponding value in "data"
for example
data[[5,1]]= 11.223300000000 is printed as 11.2233
data[[7,1]]= 1234000.               is printed as 1.234*10^6

Can you teach me how to obtain in the Table the same format as in "data"?
I have tried without success various alternative options (ScientificForm,
AccountingForm, PaddedForm,...). Some of them work, but not in every case.

Many thanks for your help
