scientific notiation

I have data that I have inserted into a float type, which was in scientific notation. Using ACE, I need to get the data out in scientific notation also. Any help would be appreciated on what the using statement would be. Thanks, John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . . | ... ... | John M.
