Appreciate the response though..

Didn't notice it until now as I was tired as its been a long weekend coding,
but I meant val(), not var()

In php it seems there are half a dozen ways to do things like cast(p as
decimal) or number_format().
Things like that.

Problem I'm running into is when I loaded the data from the excel
spreadsheets, all columns were made into varchar() but up until now it
presented no problems as I could use the above commands.

Today it threw me for a loop, but I finally figured it out so all is good,
and I try to stay off the OT stuff these days IF I can.

Well, it's more that people are trying to solve a specific problem, and
sometimes they use a hammer to drive a screw, and write about it. Others,
though, have found real tricks and tips, so sometimes you get good ideas,
too.

Yeah, that would be OT, though.
