Type mismatch error

[nimishauk]

HI

When an user edits a text box on the page which has a default value displayed as 0, and enters no value, get a type mismatch error. Even though I try to set the value back to 0 no luck
Code
nTotalTime = (nActualHours * 60) + nActualMins
nActualMins = nTotalTime mod 60

Ani deas?

' CHECK THE INPUT WAS A NUMBER
if(IsNumeric( yourValue ) )then
'CAST TO INTEGER
yourValue = CINT(yourValue )
else

Response.write "user didn't enter a number"

end if

HOPE THIS HELPS

can you post a little more of your code. I'm guessing that you are trying to treat a string as a number....

nActualHours = request("actHours&quot
if isNumeric(nActualHours) then
nActualHours = cInt(nAcutalHours)
else
nAcualHours = 0
end if

I've been kicking myself. I was not calling the right variable hence the error.
