Is there any way to do this?? 3

[The]

you know how you make a value into a string so it can be put into text formatt, right? ( str(whatever) ). well is there a way to make it go backwards? I want to give the computer a number typed in by the user, but I don't know how.

cint() 'for integer
clng() 'for long
cdbl() 'for double

clng(text1.text)

Use of the Val function should be discouraged as far as I am concerned: it doesn't recognize International number formats.
The CFunctions (CInt, Clng, CDbl, ...) use the locale settings to do the conversion job, Val does not have this capability and therefore may not be able to recognize number formats that are used outside the US. _________________________________

Good point, rvBasic. I didn't know that, and since I've run into problems with international formats before, it's nice to know in advance for once.
