Formatting a decimal answer

[Bob L.]

I have a variable that is the by product of two other variables being
multiplied against each other. The answer was 1.0100. Using visual basic in a
script file, how can I eliminate the two right zero's to give me an answer
that I can print actually showing 1.01 without the those extra 0's?

Here's MS's VBScript reference. I think you want the FormatNumber function.

FormatNumber(Expression [,NumDigitsAfterDecimal [,IncludeLeadingDigit
[,UseParensForNegativeNumbers [,GroupDigits]]]])
