Hi all,

I have the following very simple code,

Sub edtTest_EnterPressed
If edtTest.Text > 120 Then
Msgbox("PLEASE, ENTER A NUMBER OF SECONDS BETWEEN 0 AND 120","INVALID ENTRY")
edtTest.Text = ""
End If
End Sub

The input for edtTest is numerical. It works fine. However, if I press enter when there is nothing (" ") in the box then I get a bunch errors,

Error occurred on line: 349 (Main)

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Yes an empty string "" does not convert to a Double. By doing a numeric test you are forcing the program to convert the string to a number. Test for the empty string before you check the range.

Thanks Steve. That worked. Is there anyway to check if a string is numerical like in VB6. Something like,

If edtTest.Text.IsNumerical Then

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Erel. I printed out the beginner's manual, but I haven't seen this function IsNumber in it. Is there anywhere where I can find all the functions available in B4A? Thank you again. Robert.
