Type mismatch error

[Knowlton]

I'm getting an error 13 - Type Mismatch with the following code:

MsgBox "Total trip miles = " & lngTripMiles & _
                " and the status miles total = " _
                & (lngLoadedMiles + lngEmptyMiles + lngBobtailMiles) & ".", "Trip calculation error"

All the variables are defined as Long. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

that is because "Trip calculation error"
is in the position for the button/icon/msgtype

IMHO: It's usually better to build your string first and then insert it into the function.

In anycase, add another comma before the "Trip...", and I prefer to specify the button type; thus, you now have:

MsgBox "Total trip miles = " & lngTripMiles & _
                " and the status miles total = " _
                & (lngLoadedMiles + lngEmptyMiles + lngBobtailMiles) & ".", vbOKOnly, "Trip calculation error"

IMHO Ideally you would

(...)dim strMsg as String
strMsg = "Total trip miles = " & lngTripMiles & _
                " and the status miles total = " _
                & (lngLoadedMiles + lngEmptyMiles + lngBobtailMiles) & "."
'
MsgBox strMsg,vbOKOnly,"Trip calculation error"
(...)

This way if you need to you can debug.print the string.

Thanks! I wasn't paying close enough attention to the prompts when I created it.
