Convert double value with E-02 to "normal" value

Question

I have the double value

3,64171229302883E-02

I would like to convert it so that the E-02 is gone and zeros are used instead.

How would I do that in VB6, please?

Assuming its in a string cast to Decimal ("," is locale specific, for me its ".")

?cdec("3.64171229302883E-02")
 0.0364171229302883

This answer is actually wrong; it just appears to do what expected because the default rules for converting doubles and decimals to strings differ. The right way is `Format$(3.64171229302883E-02#, "0.##################")` or `FormatNumber(3.64171229302883E-02#, 16)`. – GSerg Oct 16 '13 at 16:21
