Quackhead,

Thanks for the reply. I apologize, but I may not have made it clear in my example that the user will be entering the values into the form, so the 47 and 53 would be entered into the form. So I really don't have a place to put the quotes since the numbers are not hard coded in. So maybe my example should have been:

a = document.form.CapBudget.value
b = document.form.ExpBudget.value
total = a + b;

return total;

With the return giving a field called TotBudget the result. As I stated, the strings are being combined, but the addition is not happening. This is being done on an Intranet site and the browsers being used are Netscape 4. I may be unclear how the script determines whether the user entry is text or a number.
