Converting variants

[vizualz]

Howdy...

Trying to convert an expression of subtype "string" to an "int." I'm basically requesting a value from my form which returns either an interger or a decimal. When it returns a decimal - say 1.5, it's type is a string. How can I covert? I've tried cint, int - no dice! Please help!

CInt should convert the string to an integer
CDbl will convert the string to a double. ( use this if your form number will not be a whole number)
There is no reason why these should not work.

Try to combine it with trim in case there are trailing whitespaces:

e.g. myInt = CInt(trim(Request.Form("myField&quot)) Mise Le Meas,

You should protect yourself from "bad" input

Dim intErr
On error resume next
    myInt = CInt(trim(Request.Form("myField"))) 
    intErr = Err.Number
On error goto 0
if intErr <> 0 then
........
