Try this:

leduur1# = val(tientaluur$)

leduur1# will equal tientaluur$ no matter what it's value.

Then you can't do it. Floats only store numbers, not strings.

Do you bite your thumb at me sir?

I imagine there's a "is numeric" check available. You'd have to test but would would only need an IF statement.

A little late probably but here goes:


This checks for zero through nine and will only get the first character so if you have "abc" or some invalid string, you will get a -1. Now, if you have "123" or even "4bc32" it will only get the first character, the "1" in the first string or "4" in the second and convert those to 1 and 4.

I hope this helps you.
