For dg = 9 To 1 Step -1
 lp = Log(dg / 10)
 Text1.Text = Text1.Text & crlf
 n = 10000000
  tot = 0
 For x = 1 / (2 * n) To 1 - 1 / (2 * n) Step 1 / n
  tot = tot + Exp(lp / x)
 Next
 Text1.Text = Text1.Text & dg & " " & mform(1 - tot / n - prev, "0.0000000000")
 prev = 1 - tot / n
 DoEvents
Next dg
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & crlf & dg & " " & mform(1 - prev, "0.0000000000")
 
 
and the previously discerned accuracy using 10,000,000 intervals in the numeric integration.
