IIf always evaluates both truepart and falsepart, even though it returns only
one of them. Because of this, you should watch for undesirable side effects.

So you will get your error if t_string is not numeric, since truepart gets
evaluated anyway.

One way around this would be to use an IF statement. For example:

If (IsNumeric(t_string)) Then
target.value = CDbl(t_string) / 100000
Else
target.value = t_string
End If
