I have a variable coming through an XML string into my .asp page (payamt). I need to send this through to be processed, but...I also need to create a NEW field called "totalamount". The totalamount should be equal to the payamt * 3%. I've tried making sure that the fields are set as Integers, but I keep getting a "Type Mismatch" error. I have a looming deadline...please help!

        Set objpayamt = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("payamt")
    varpayamt = objpayamt.item(0).text
    Dim convfee
    Dim payamt
    Dim totalamount
    Set payamt = CInt("varpayamount")
    Set totalamount = ("payamt" * .03)

Is this related to ASP.NET 2.0??? If not, you're better off posting these kind of questions in one of the Classic ASP forums, accessible by clicking View All Forums on the left.

That said, take a look at this:

Set totalamount = ("payamt" * .03)

You try to multiple the *string* "payamt" by .03. Drop the quotes and it should work.

Cheers,

Imar,

Thanks for the quick reply. I dropped the " ", but this is the error I'm still getting.
  Also, sorry if I mis-posted, wasn't sure exactly which forum to use.

    Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

    Type mismatch: 'CInt'

Then try this:

Response.Write(objpayamt.item(0).text)
Response.End

What does it write to the screen?

Am getting this now:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'

Object required: 'varpayamt'

/new/upshurCodej2.ASP, line 132

Here's the re-written code:
    Set objpayamt = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("payamount")
    varpayamt = objpayamt.item(0).text
Response.Write(varpayamt.item(0).text)
Response.End

You used varpayamt.item(0).text instead of objpayamt.item(0).text
