empty string as the error indicates), then val() will return a zero - as it
does with any non-numeric value. Also, if it's an empty string, your math
operations *should* fail with the error you are giving as it's not a number
and math cannot be performed on it!
ID should be a number if you are planning on doing any math to it.

Subject: value "" cannot convert to number
Hi Everyone,
Can someone tell be why I get a string convert error. I have tried
setting up ID to Val(ID) and even IncrementValue(Val(ID)), but all it ever
returns is either 0 or 1, respectively. Apparently ID is not getting
converted. "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" What is wrong with
converting a string to a number, especially when the string is just a
concatenation of numbers?
Many thanks,
Sam
The value "" cannot be converted to a number
155 : <CFOUTPUT>#ID#</CFOUTPUT>
156 : <CFSET ID=ID + 1>
