Long with value zero - IGNORE
 

Please ignore this posting - I was being thick - now worked it out (and
wasn't it easy!)

Hi,

I have a form that captures user inputted values to text boxes and formats
them as numbers ("#,###,###"). These values are converted to numbers (using
CLng) and added in a Long variable. This bit works.

What I can't figure out is how to handle boxes that are not filled out -
which is an acceptable option for my users.

I have tried using an If statement to manually enter the value 0 (zero) if
the text box is empty (""), but the formatting just ignores it and keeps the
content blank (I have checked this by using a message box to display the
value held).

Can anyone suggest how I can convert a blank to a zero (this information is
stored elsewhere in the workbook as well so I would like to be able to
manipulate these as zero) in these circumstances?

Many thanks.

Dave
