INPUT string not in correct format?

Morning all,

This is an easy one for all you VB experts, but on a friday my novice head isn't in programming mode!!!!

I get an 'input string was not in correct format' on the following line:

Code:
Session("ShippingVAT") = (xobjrs.fields("Price").Value.ToString * CurrentVATRate) - xobjrs.fields("Price").Value.ToString


CurrentVATRate is Dimmed and Stored as a String value for use in shopping cart calculations.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Barry

Not entirely sure what you mean by 'the value' (really having a bad friday today!)...

the idea is it takes the price field, a numeric value, multiplies it by the currentvatrate which is declared as a string value 1.15, then subtracts the price field from the sum to leave just the currentvatrate sum, e.g.

(100.00 * 1.15) - 100.00

Hmm, i am not sure why its not working

Try like this
Code:
someVar = (xobjrs.fields("Price").Value.ToString * CurrentVATRate) - xobjrs.fields("Price").Value.ToString
Session("ShippingVAT") = someVar
