I have finally embarked on trying to make my code more efficient.

In so doing, I have set up a Global value in Global Code as follows:

GlobalValue("Advances", "6000.00")

In my layout element programming, I have called the global value as follows:

var vNet as Double

vNet = vFebcomp - @GlobalValue("Advances")

However, testing the program indicates a type mismatch error.

Can you not utilize it in a defining a variable ?

Thanks,

Louis

Thanks.  After looking it up in the program guide, I knew it was to do with a string issue but didn't realize I had to convert to a number.
