val(.5) will give you .5

int (.5) will give you 0

all this is as it should be. if you don't understand, you should read the on-line help regarding data types.

Try using a C dimmed as Single!

Will cInt(0.5) not fix this?

thanks alot
I had to choose single or double, I found out that Integer or Long have the default decimal value to zero.... it was good to know new things

thanks again.

Types Byte, Integer, ang Long do not support decimals.

Single, Double, Decimal, and Currency do.
