One way for you to do that, is convert it to a single, you will get about 8 characters from the example you gave above, -
dim Result as single
-
Result = 21.2565458658966
-
Result = csngl(Result) '// Result for This = 21.25655
-
MyLabel.Caption = Result
-
-
Or you can cut the length via the Left$ sub -
dim Result as Double
-
Result = 21.2565458658966
-
'//Change the Number 6 below for different legnths
-
MyLabel.Caption = Left$(Result, 6) '//Result for this shows 21.256
-
I hope this helps you
Kind Regards
