' Returns a string of a number rounded to a whole and fraction in 16ths, 32nds, etc.
' Handles number > 1 and less than 0
' Use as follows:
' Label1.Caption = Dec2Fract(Val(Text1.Text))
' or Label1.Caption = Dec2Fract(Val(Label1.Caption)
Dim F As String, Y As Single, Num As Integer, Den As Integer
Den = 16 ' can be set to 8, 16, 32, 64 etc
