title: VBScript: Expanding precision to 16 decimals to circumvent scientific notation?
body: <p>I've searched for this answer but cannot find anything for VBS.</p>
  
  <p>For instance:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dim num
  num = 1234567890123456 'a 16 digit number
  msgbox num
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Working with <code>num</code> in any way will result in the number being displayed in scientific notation.</p>
  
  <p>How can I avoid this?</p>
