<i><b>Originally posted by : witold (wsokolow@poczta.onet.pl)</b></i><br />hi,<br /><br />i store values in several sessions e.g.<br /><br />session("item1") = "10"<br />session("item2") = "15"<br />session("item3") = "20"<br /><br />i need to add all the values up and get something like<br /><br />session("total") = session("item1") + session("item2")+ session("item3")<br /><br />i should end up with session("total") = "45" but<br />instead I get session("total") = "101520"<br /><br />Can anyone help me?<br /><br />witold<br />

<i><b>Originally posted by : witold (wsokolow@poczta.onet.pl)</b></i><br /><br />Thanks. One of my work colleagues has already prompted me with this solution. That's it!<br />It can be either cint(session("item1")) or<br />cint(request.form("item1")).<br /><br />Imagine I spent half a day looking for it and the answer's so simple:-)<br /><br />witold<br /><br />------------<br />Kurt at 2/26/2002 7:26:59 AM<br /><br />When you use Session("Item1"), the result is considered as a string. <br />Try<br />session("total") = CInt(session("item1")) + CInt(session("item2"))+ CInt(session("item3"))<br /><br />Kurt<br />------------<br />witold at 2/26/2002 4:04:18 AM<br /><br />hi,<br /><br />i store values in several sessions e.g.<br /><br />session("item1") = "10"<br />session("item2") = "15"<br />session("item3") = "20"<br /><br />i need to add all the values up and get something like<br /><br />session("total") = session("item1") + session("item2")+ session("item3")<br /><br />i should end up with session("total") = "45" but<br />instead I get session("total") = "101520"<br /><br />Can anyone help me?<br /><br />witold<br />

Just be careful with the kind of data that you are using, CInt() works with Integer values and you could need CDbl() for bigger or float values.<br /><br /><br />------------<br />witold at 2/26/2002 7:42:52 AM<br /><br /><br />Thanks.
