Val error message?

[PogoWolf]

Hey everyone...

I can't seem to figure this error out. I'm getting this error:
"Function Argument Value, type, or count is invalid."

on this line of code:
NumofNBAP = VAL(alltrim(ThisForm.txtNBAP.value))

It's reading a text box (txtNBAP) and converting the
text entered into a number so I can play with it later.

I have this (almost exact same) piece of code in another section of the program that works with out issue..

any ideas of what would/could be causeing this?

NumOfNBAP is decleared in the beginning as a number.. ---===///The PogoWolf\\\===---

Seems that ThisForm.txtNBAP.value isn't a character expression.

Or it is a character expression but with non-numeric characters in it.

found the issue.. I was setting the text box =1 in a sub..and not ="1" although.. I not sure how/why the system was allowing that.. but that fixed it. Thanks =) =)

Just FYI, the Value of a textbox can be of any data type, not just character.

Also, VAL() doesn't generate an error on non-numeric characters - it returns 0.

Thanks for the FYI, I did think about that and set the input to '999' to force numbers. =)
