Topic awaiting preservation: ASP calculation problem (Page 1 of 1)

Hi, guys. Please help.
I am trying to calculate using ASP.

Here is my code:

If Request.Form("cal") = "Calculation" Then

    Dim q,p

    q = Request.Form("quant")

		p = Request.Form("price")

	  Response.write(q)

		Response.Write(p)

		Response.write(q*p)

End IF

When user click calculation button, cost have to be printed on the screen.
But this line:

Response.Write(q*p)

it is causing error.
I don't know why cuz I did tutorial and got a code like this:

<%

sub vbproc(num1,num2)

response.write(num1*num2)

end sub

%>

Hmm......Please help!

Hiroki: Can ASP transType automagically the variables ? I ask that because I'm pretty sure the the values returned by Request.Form( ... ) are some Strings. Try to convert/cast the variables in float or double.

What kind of error message do ASP return ?

Thanks for your reply.
Yeah, error message was saying about sting or something like that.
I guess I have to do like you said.
Casting string to number!
Thanks.

Hmm.....I am stying to convert String to Interger. But some reason, doesn't work. I did like below.
Always said: CInt type mismatch.......
Do you know why?

q = Trim(Request.Form("quant"))

		p = Trim(Request.Form("price"))

		pp = 0

		qq = 0

		pp = CInt(p)

		qq = CInt(q)

Is it possible to convert form text field value to interger???
Hmm....
