Hello,
I'm getting an error that just recently started when trying to input decimals into a form. It works fine with whole numbers but decimals give this error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'TotalAbsences'
updater.asp, line 155

Line 155 is "if TotalAbsences <> 0 then"
If more code is needed please let me know.

if Request.Form("Class") = "RW" then
    if TotalAbsences <> 0 then
    rstemp("RWAbsences") = rstemp("RWAbsences")+Request.Form(Mabsences)+Request.Form(Tabsences)+Request.Form(Wabsences)+Request.Form(Rabsences)+Request.Form(Fabsences)
    rstemp("RWAbsenceDates") = rstemp("RWAbsenceDates") & "<u>Week" & Request.Form("Week") & "</u>: <nobr>" & Request.Form(Mabsences)& "-" & Request.Form(Tabsences)&"-" &Request.Form(Wabsences)&"-" &Request.Form(Rabsences)&"-" &Request.Form(Fabsences) & "</nobr>"& "<br>"
    end if
    if TotalTardies <> 0 then    
    rstemp("RWTardies") = rstemp("RWTardies")+Request.Form(Mtardies)+Request.Form(Ttardies)+Request.Form(Wtardies)+Request.Form(Rtardies)+Request.Form(Ftardies)
    rstemp("RWTardyDates") = rstemp("RWTardyDates") & "<u>Week" & Request.Form("Week") & "</u>: <nobr>" & Request.Form(Mtardies) & "-" & Request.Form(Ttardies)&"-" &Request.Form(Wtardies)&"-" &Request.Form(Rtardies)&"-" &Request.Form(Ftardies)& "</nobr>"& "<br>"
    end if
rstemp.Update
Response.Write "<i>" & rstemp("FirstName") & " " & rstemp("LastName") & "</i> " & "now has <b>" & rstemp("RWAbsences") & "</b> total absences and <b>" & rstemp("RWTardies") & "</b> total tardies in this class.<br>"
end if

Cast the form value, which is a string, to a numeric value.

Im new to coding could you explain a little more please. Also this is for attendance and I found out that it will add a decimal fine, but since im inputting attendance for the week if I put more than one in the week is when I get the error. Ex. Monday 2.5 Tuesday 2.5 it adds them together and I get the error. If I just put in Monday 2.5 it will work.


Thanks

RTFM.

Coming from C#, this sound like you're trying to set a double into an integer. All I've looked at is this, so are you using adInteger instead of adDouble for your data type? (Edit, looks like I'm a moron, but I'll keep this here anyway)

C# example:

int variable;
variable = 4; //works
variable = 5.2; //doesn't work, but

double variable
variable = 5.2; //works

Define the double variable instead of int then it work
