conditional not finding correct results
 

I'm making a withholdings calculator which basically has to find which
step the gross wages for the pay period are, for this i have

sub FindStep()

Dim R as Range
Dim myTot as String
Dim myAmt as String
Dim myPerc as String
Dim myBeg as String
For Each R in Range("A2:A8")
If myTot = R.Value Then
If myTot < R.Offset(0,1).Value Then
myAmt = R.Offset(0,2).Value
myPerc = R.Offset(0,3).Value
myBeg = R.Value
End If
End If
Next R

End Sub

now myTot is being set my an earlier equation that calculates some
entries in a form, when i step through the code, i get things like
myTot = "793.08", R.Value = 385 and R.Offset(0,1).Value = 1240 which as
far as i can tell should meet the criteria I've set (I want it to meet
the criteria, but the other variables never get set, so it crashes when
they are used in the final calculation. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

Craig,
If the sample values are exactly correct, it looks like you are comparing
the string "793.08" against the number 385 .
If that is not what you intend, either use a numeric data type for MyTot or
use CSng(MyTot) instead.
