In VB4 how do you convert a string to a number value?

Question

If Check2 Then
A = 10 / 140
End If
If Check1 Or Check3 Then
A = 0
End If
This is the code on Tab one , the A information is pulled
over to Tab 14. Each tab has a question that is defined specific.

MyResult = A + B + C

But when this code is run it acts like it is in text. If the ans = 10+0+10 result 10010

Answer 1

Val(a+b+c)

(val will add them up. If there's a string still in there, it will return 0)

or Int(a+b+c)

(this is probably better to use)

Answer 2

first of all you need to declare your variables.

dim A as long
dim B as long
dim C as long
dim MyResult as long

if check2 then
a=10/140
elseif check1 or check3 then
a=0
end if

MyResult=A+B+C

if you want result to be a whole number, declare it myResult as Integer.

Answer 3

You can download Visual Basic 2005 express edition free from microsoft.

Answer 4

check out http://www.pscode.com for great sample code...is it vb 4-16 bit, or vb 4-32 bit? Planet Source Code (the site I mentioned above) splits those two as separate categories.

Answer 5

Did you dimension A, B, C, as integers or strings? Looks like strings
