Thank you Dawn,   That made it happy....and me too!!!!!   and BTW, Razzak...sorry, i thought i was on the high-tech list ;-)   tom ----- Original Message ----- From: Dawn Oakes To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 8:24 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: invalid integer type--I'm missing something :-)   Tom The choose statement treats the returned value as text.  So instead try this.   IF vidnumtxt = '[Esc]' THEN     GOTO done   ELSE     SET VARIABLE  vidnum INTEGER = .vidnumtxt   ENDIF From: Thomas Eldred [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 8:26 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - invalid integer type--I'm missing something :-) Good Morning all....   This should be simple...easy and low brain power, but so am i and this has me puzzled.   My user types a last name....R:Base then searches the list to find a count of like names.   If there is one, or none everything is fine and the program runs flawlessly.   If more than one, I have a list generated for the user to choose the correct person.   Using the code below, I get an "ERROR - Your value does not have the same type or scale as your variable vidnum (2178)"   The code continues to run and calls the expected form with the expected results. (edit using form where idnum = .vidnum)   IF vrows > 1 THEN   CLS   CHOOSE vidnumtxt FOR #VALUES +   FOR (lookupname & (CTXT(rushnum)) & homeaddress),idnum +   FROM peoplelist WHERE lookupname CONTAINS .vlastname   +   CHKBOX 1 TITLE 'Choose a Donor' +   CAPTION 'Select Name and Press Enter' +   LINES 20 FORMATTED +   OPTION LIST_FONT_COLOR BLACK|List_Back_Color YELLOW +   |title_font_color BLACK|Title_Back_Color BLACK +   |window_back_color YELLOW +   |title_font_size 24 +   |title_font_name times new roman +   |window_caption +   |Buttons_Show_Glyph ON +   |Buttons_Back_Color YELLOW   IF vidnumtxt = '[Esc]' THEN     GOTO done   ELSE     SET VARIABLE  vidnum = .vidnumtxt   ENDIF ENDIF   All Fields having num in the name are integers,  lookupname is a computed column all others are text.   Any one see a problem here? I can't find my boo-boo.   Thank you Tom Eldred
