Hello everyone! :-)

     This is the first time this has happened to me.  I have a long 
variable I am trying to put a big number in and I guess it's too 
big.  Here's what's going on...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

TempVar = Mid(RecordIn, 57, 12) 'This number is 012182576785
TotalHeaderWages = CLng(TempVar)

This generates overflow error.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

What am I to do here?  I did a little look through the helps and saw 
one example where they said an error being generated 
by "number=2000*36" could be avoided by writing it as "number=clng
(2000)*36" but I don't see how I can change this to work.  originally 
it was all one line i.e. totalheaderwages=clng(mid(recordin,57,12)),  
and before that I was using VAL instead of CLNG but I still get the 
error.  How am I supposed to handle bigger numbers?  This could have 
been a bigger problem but I can get by for the moment...  but 
eventually I need to find a way to handle this situation.

Thanks in advance!
