can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong:

Code:

---

Dim Output
Dim intnum As Long
Dim x

Public Function FileExists(FullName As String) As Boolean
    FileExists = Len(Dir(FullName))
End Function

Private Sub Form_Load()
If FileExists("C:\a.dat") Then
 
             
  Dim strItem4 As String
  Open "c:\a.dat" For Input As #1
  Input #1, strItem1
  Close #1
  Label1.Caption = strItem1
 
 
'***********************************************************************************************************************
'***********************************************************************************************************************
    intnum = CInt(strItem1) 'I always get a type DisMatch Error Here can Someone Please tell me what I am doing wrong
'***********************************************************************************************************************
'***********************************************************************************************************************
    intnum = intnum + 1
    Label1.Caption = CStr(intnum)


              Open "c:\a.dat" For Output As #1
              Print #1, Label1.Caption
              Close #1


ProgressBar1.Value = Label1.Caption
Label4.Caption = 100 - Label1.Caption

            Else:
           
                Label1.Caption = "1"
              Open "c:\a.dat" For Output As #1
              Print #1, Label1.Caption
              Close #1
             

ProgressBar1.Value = Label1.Caption
Label4.Caption = 100 - Label1.Caption
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Label1_Change()
If Label1.Caption = "100" Then
Open "C:\a.dat" For Output As #1
Print #1, "100"
Close #1
End
End If
End Sub

Chances are whatever is in strItem1 is not a number. Try doing this
if IsNumeric(strItem1) then _
intnum = CInt(strItem1)

see what happens

no, it is numberic

Did you try using the CLng function instead of CInt? I wouldn't imagine it would make much difference, but you never know.

Dim strItem4 As String
Open "c:\a.dat" For Input As #1
Input #1, strItem1
Close #1
Label1.Caption = strItem1

try
stritem1 = Cint(stritem)
intnum = strItem1)

'Hope this helps!!

It may be a number but a number is not always a number...if a number is a "1" then it's concidered a string and VB tends to flip out.. however if it's just a 1 then it's a number...Part of it is because + can be used the same as &

Example:

"1" + "1"=11
1+1=2

1 x 1=1

"1" x "1"=Mismatch... cuz you can't multiply a text string times a text string.

Actually, Dimava, I cut and pasted your code and it
runs just fine...no errors...perhaps you need to
check the contents of your file.

If when you write to the file you use the
Write #1, mydata
you will get "4"

If you use the
Print#1, mydata
you will get a 4

I found my error, it was this 1 huge mistake that I made, but everything works fin now, thanks for all your help

Hate to be picky, Dimava, but:

1 - 1 = 0
1 % 1 = 0.01

I'm sure if you take extra maths classes, you'll cope just fine.

Yea I know but that what they teached us in 7th grade (its a joke)
