What is the difference between csng() and cdbl()?

Use CDbl() function instead of CSng() function while dealing with real or floating point numbers in ASP. CDbl() outputs are double-precision numbers where as CSng() outputs are single-precision numbers.

I agree with Boecky since CDbl() can do everything that CSng() can do and more (i.e. handle larger numbers too).

As a matter of fact I don't think I've hardly ever even used the CSng() function.
