hi Amrit! First of all, this code SHOULD work if it was used correctly. The VAL() is a function and it returns a numeric value. It takes a string which holds a number and converts it (actually the left-most numbers) into a numeric value. If the string does not start with a number, it returns the value 0. Hope this helps! -- John M. =========================== Inet: mills@max.ee.lsu.edu Genie: J.Mills11 ===========================
