Code to convert text input to a number

Hi all,

What is the code to convert text taken from a input text box (on a form) into a number that can be used for manipulation?

Thanks

Hi FCC,

Try:

Dim myValue As Double

myValue = CDbl(TextBox1.Value)

Regards,

If you use the Application.InputBox instead of VBA.InputBox, you can specify
a Type:=1 argument, to limit the user to numbers. e.g.
Debug.Print VarType(Application.InputBox("Some prompt", , , , , , , 1))
5
shows that a double was returned.
You still need to check for the Cancel, which =False.

Ignore this as I misread your "input text box" for an input box.
