the value, whether numeric in nature or not is usually stored as a string
when it is in the combobox and or a textbox
The + operator has a dual capability to act as a concatenation operator when
placed between string values.
demo'd from the immediate window:
? 1 + 2
3
? "1" + "2"
12
the 12 is a string and the result of the concatenation of 1 and 2.
If you use the val as Bob pointed out, it should convert the string values
to numbers
? val("1") + val("2")
3
Just some added info probably not an issue here: Val stops evaluating when
it hits a non numeric character. It considers a comma to be such a non
numeric character:
? val("1,000.2") + val("2,000.4")
3
Note that you should apply Val to the value of the textbox as well.
note that you can replace
ComboBox6.List(ComboBox6.ListIndex, 0)
with
Combobox6.Value
If Val(Combobox6.Value) + _
Val(Combobox8.Value) + _
Val(Combobox10.Value) + _
Val(Combobox12.Value) + _
Val(Combobox14.Value) >
Val(TextBox47.Value) then
--
