You likely have an issue with the conversion of your variables to string
format.
One method you might use is the use of the string.format command.
See this example from MSDN help.
Notice how they parameterize the variables... {0:C} means the first
varialble is formatted as Currency.
Visual Basic Copy Code
' This code example demonstrates the String.Format() method.
' Formatting for this example uses the "en-US" culture.
