Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim a, b, c As Double
a = Text6.Text
b = Text10.Text

c = a + b
Text6.Text = c
End Sub

I know I am doing something wrong but for the life of me I can`t remember.This is a very simple application its to add the new Points for to the old points for in the database.Heres the problem the points for is at 22 .I want to add 5 more points which = 27.The problem is it gives me 225 it just adds the 25 to the end of the statement.
I know as soon as someone tells me the right way it will probably click but till then I am stopped.

Hey Broday,

You need to convert the two text fields to doubles. Try:

Dim a, b, c As Double

a = Val(Text1.Text)
b = Val(Text2.Text)
c = a + b

Text3.Text = Str(c)

Dim a, b, c As Double

a = Val(Text1.Text)
b = Val(Text2.Text)
c = a + b

Text3.Text = Str(c)

Thanks Bill

I'm always amazed at any language that lets you implicitly convert datatypes on the fly without throwing a compile error. Ick.

WBaugh has a good solution, but one thing I would like to point out is that you need to implicitly declare your variables. Your statement: Dim a, b, c as Double is actually dimensioning a and b as variants and c as a double, change your statement thus:

Dim a As Double, b As Double, c As Double

Hey NCRawler,

Thank you for the clarification. I'm a C/C# developer so my VB is fairly rusty.
