OK, that thoroughly threw me... I checked in Access, it turns out you don't
need the .Text property at the end.

This works (I've tested it):

  lngFirstNumber = Val(Me.FirstNumber)

It's a bit wierd - in straight VB you can specify the .Text property or
leave it blank (in which case you get the default property, which in this
case is .Text anyway). I have no clue why you can't do this in Access.

Cheers
