Exceptions in published apps

[=?Utf-8?B?Sm9obiBCdW5keQ==?=]

I'm at a loss, i have published a program that works fine when run from code,
but produces exceptions when installed and run. I turned on option strict and
option explicit and turned all of the warnings on, then i went through and
handled all conversions etc until no errors or warnings of any kind were
found. When I run my app from the installation i still get a conversion
error. Any thoughts?

System.InvalidC astException: Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is
not valid. ---System.FormatEx ception: Input string was not in a correct
format.

The data you are retrieving must be bad. In your updateTotals method
you are choking on data that is being parsed from string into integer.
You must have a non-numeric character somewhere. I would look in your
data set for a floating point number or commas or something similar.
Are you sure you are using the same data in both cases? Are you testing
and running a debug version but deploying the release version or
vice-versa?

I figured it out, i think i was looking at the data too long. The issue was i
was performing a calculation with a "" and that of course did not work. What
threw me off is that the error was in a function called by the sub not the
sub itself.
Thanks
