Simply Want to Add Numbers in Form - Why Won't It? 1

[Grippen]

Hi,

I'm busy designing an Outlook form (Based on a Contact Form) to collect number based data. I've created several user defined number fields for the user to fill in with numbers and simply want to add them together an display the result on the form. I've done this successfully in several areas by defining a formula field but some have concatenated instead of adding (e.g. I want 10 + 10 = "20" but I get "1010&quot.

It's driving me nuts!

Why? How do I get back to adding?

Thanks

Hello, Grippen.

Should convert the variable to number before adding, c = cint(a) + cint(b), if a and b are taken from input in a form which are usually taken literally as string.
