[mso] Re: Word 2002: Convert Number To String

Thanks, excellent troubleshooting suggestions, I will check them out when I
get time.  For now I've bumped into the end of several deadlines and I'll
just switch to plan B with the extra data input box for text.  Later when I
can get back to this, I'll update the form back to one input box.  Thanks
so much to you and Ray for all your help.
Cathy :)

Hi again Cathy,

There is a function called CStr which supposedly converts an
expression to a string. Maybe that would work.

String = CStr(Expression)

It's in the help.

Also, one way to tell if it is a string is that the str functions
stick a space on the front. Do a trim$ after the str. The trim$ also
returns a string and won't work if the argument is a number. As a last
ditch attempt I would try adding an empty string to the front of it
with doodad = "" & string/number. One way to have 650,000.00 is to use
a different notation maybe... SI units would probably use "650
000.00". The space there would make it look like a string to VBA.

Do the numbers have units like meters/miles or something? Perhaps you
could put the units on the end or at the front if it's currency. That
would definately make it a string.

If you deliberately make it a string does the code work... replace the
variable with a text string like "650090". If it still comes out a
number then it can't be the variable but something is doing an extra
conversion somewhere *after* you've converted it to a string.
