Adding 2 Numbers (Again)

[SteveSensei]

My mind must be numb as this is usually not a problem for me:

I'm trying to add 2 numbers that come from a form -
a = Request.Form("overLoan")
b = Request.Form("loanRate")
c = (a + b)

If a = 9.00 and b = 6.25, I get 9.006.25 as the answer, when it should be 15.25

Help!

You are concatenation two strings because the request returns strings.

You should cast to double before you sum, like this:
CDbl


a = CDbl(Request.Form("overLoan"));
b =CDbl( Request.Form("loanRate"));

Many thanks!
