[Charles Vaz]

I'm experiencing the following error message:

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'cDbl'
/auction/auction_biditem.asp, line 19

my code:
<%
else 'Login Check
p_auction_id = request.form("p_auction_id")
p_bid = cDbl(Request.form("p_bid"))

set outpostDB = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
outpostDB.Open "outpost"
---
where p_bid is a money format value.

Someone coud help me to pint where I did wrong?

What do you see when you do this:
Response.Write Request.form("p_bid")

If a non-numeric character is present, you will get a type mismatch.
If the user entered a string in a different format than that specified in
the server's regional settings, you will get a type mismatch. Plus, you need
to realize that asp code runs in the context of the IUSR_machinename
account, which may have the default (US) regional settings.
