HI. no decAmountDue is set to nothing. and the decRentals set to it says in the project $1.8, but was having a lot of trouble trying to calculate , so put it to 2, just to see, if it liked that rounded up. cheers Marvin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tyler Littlefield" <tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 10:10 AM Subject: Re: VB Videos Programming Help ok, this is the line I don't get. the first two lines make sense: decAmountDue = decAmountDue * decRentals does DecAmountDue have something initialized before you set it to that? And how are you setting your rentals? I would've thought rentals would've been movies*rate with the discount subtracted.
