@kaufmed is probably right on target. I would add that if the variable credit is a numeric value that is used in many mathematical functions, you should store it as a single or double type so you do not have to test for the presence of the $ character every time. Any time you want to display the value of the credit variable, you can always use formatting to slap that $ symbol back on and add commas in proper positions if desired.

Thanks I gave mBetMode a value of 1 and now it works.<br />
the program runs in different price denomitions eg;1cent,2cent, 5cent, 10 cent, 25cent<br />
and can be displayed as currency or credits
</div>


<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
betmode is either 0 or 1<br />
1= currency<br />
0= credits<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Private Function CreditMode0String(ByVal credit As String, ByVal betMode As Integer)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; <b>credit = IIf(InStr(credit, &quot;$&quot;) &gt;&nbsp;0, CCur(Mid(credit, 2)), CCur(credit)) highlighted line</b><br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; 'credit = CCur(Mid(credit, 2))<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; CreditMode0String = credit / GetPriceByBetMode(betMode)<wbr /><br />
End Function<br />
<br />
why am i getting this error ?

betmode is either 0 or 1
1= currency
0= credits



Private Function CreditMode0String(ByVal credit As String, ByVal betMode As Integer)
    credit = IIf(InStr(credit, "$") > 0, CCur(Mid(credit, 2)), CCur(credit)) highlighted line
    'credit = CCur(Mid(credit, 2))
    CreditMode0String = credit / GetPriceByBetMode(betMode)
End Function

why am i getting this error ?

trying to determine why i get a type mismatch

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
