I have the following code :

Dim heigh
heigh = Request.Form("height")
heigh = Right(heigh, 5)

This return 1.75m

if heigh > 3 then
'Len(Request.Form("height")) > 3 Then

I subsitute If Len(Request.Form("height")) > 3 Then
with the following code
if heigh > 3 then

When I run the code I get the following errors:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: '[string: "1.70m"]'
/VipModels/searcher1A.asp, line 67

Thank you for your help

height is an integer or float isn't it?

If I'm not mistaken, Right() is a string function which takes the right side of a string... why are you trying to get the 5 right characters?

The string being send from the request form is 5'5" or 1.65m. The reason why we have it in feet an meters is that some of our overseas clients only work in feet an local clients (South African) clients work in meters. So we need to have both height measures on. I do encounter probelms when I work in feet, because if I do my select staement I encounter problems because the select clause ends after the 5'. So we decided to send the string to the database in meters. But when I select in meters i get the error message as seen in my original request

1.75m is a string, as it has the letter m in it. When you say:

if heigh > 3 then

you are comparing a string value (heigh) to an integer value (3), which causes the error.
What you could do is first take the m out:

heigh = Left(heigh, Len(heigh) - 1)

Which will return:

1.75

Then use Int() to convert it to an integer value:

if Int(heigh) > 3 then

(This is, assuming you want to tell if the height is higher than 3 meters?)
