Code help

[av8tordude]

Can someone tell me why my code will not let me type 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc, but it will allow me to type 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, etc? If possible offer a solution to my delima. Thanks in advance.


Private Sub txtTOTAL_Change()
Dim v As String, tVal As Single
If Len(Me.txtTOTAL) Then
v = Replace(Me.txtTOTAL, ".", "")
tVal = Val(v) / 10
Me.txtTOTAL = tVal
End If
End Sub

If you start with 1.0, Replace returns the string "10". Then tVal returns the Single 1, as you divided 10 by 10.

If you start with 1.2, Replace returns the string "12". Then tVal return 1.2, as you divided 12 by 10.

Does that help?

Thanks for the explaination GTO. The problem I'm having is it will not allow me to enter 1.0. It allows me to enter 1, but i will not allow me to enter 0.

Private Sub txtTOTAL_Change()
Dim v As String, tVal As Single
Dim ReEntry As Boolean

If Not ReEntry Then

ReEntry = True

With Me.txtTOTAL

If Len(.Text) Then
v = Replace(.Text, ".", "")
tVal = Val(v) / 10
.Text = tVal
End If
End With

ReEntry = False
End If
End Sub
