Adding Decimals display wrong value

[WineSnob]

I have 2 controls on a form cmbFed and cmbState both are formatted as fixed with decimal places as 2. They display the correct values.​

cmbFed = .18​

cmbState = .06​

When I add a new control to add the 2.​

=[cmbFed]+[cmbState] result is .18.06​

instead of .24​

It looks like it is treating them as text.​

I even tried to do it in code​

Me.text639 = Me.cmbFed + Me.cmbState with the same results.​

It must be something simple I am missing a format for text639 or ?????​

Thanks.​

try Clng(cmbFed) + Clng(cmbState)
And yes it is treating them as text if you get those results.

That produces the result 0 and it is justified left like text.

I think Minty meant CDbl.

That did it. Thanks to Minty and JHB.
