Ok baisically im doing a quick db for my company that is organising every file stored within the server and monitoring their last access'd, modified etc... I have a query which collates all the files which can be deleted on a server and file count is something alond the lines of 300K+ however i have also Sum'd the file sizes and instead of giving me some mental file size it has given me this result: 1.29659732507E+11

I mean i am no mathematician.. cant even spell it :S anyways im guessing that the number: 1.29659732507E+11 is actually 1.29659732507 to the power of 11?

Is there anyway i can get access to show the actual number i dnt care how long it is i just want a reliable, definitive result i can show my boss!

Cheers
 
gash pasted that number into excel and it gave me 129659732507 bytes..

divided by 1073741824

129659732507/1073741824 = 120.7550359 Gigabytes.

Safe I think thats right..
