I assume GetFieldValue is the name of a VB function or property get?

 

Try either

  Set oRs = oConn.Execute("SELECT N_GEN::int FROM MyTable ORDER BY N_GEN DESC")

or

   GetFieldValue = cint(oRs("N_GEN")) + 1

or

   GetFieldValue = clng(oRs("N_GEN")) + 1

In the last two cases make sure that the function or property get returns an int or long

Also remember that if oRs("N_GEN") is NULL the sum will also be NULL

Hello

i have a column N_GEN in postgreSql defined as text. In this coloumn i insert a number 10

N_GEN (text) = 10

 

 

on error resume next
  Set oRs = oConn.Execute("SELECT N_GEN FROM MyTable ORDER BY N_GEN DESC")
  If err <> 0 then 'If table not found
   GetFieldValue = "1"
  else
   GetFieldValue = oRs("N_GEN") + 1
  End If

 

But it doesn't add the 1 to my N_GEN
How can i set the Recordset to convert the string to a number and then add 1 to it??
