If computation help

[leroi green]

ok guys,

I've got an issue where a computation is just not working but I've used the same set up in other programs and don't truly understand the deal with this one. at the beginning of the below if (the whole program lower) statement i find if a number is valid and when it is a perform a computation but the computation is not coming out. can anyone expose the error of my ways?

If Val(Me.xCurrentTextBox.Text) <= Val(Me.xPreviousTextBox.Text) Then
            MessageBox.Show("Current reading must be higher than the previous reading.")
        Else
[B]            Me.xGallonsUsedLabel.Text = CStr(Val(Me.xCurrentTextBox.Text) - Val(Me.xPreviousTextBox.Text))
            Me.xTotalChargeLabel.Text = CStr(Val(Me.xGallonsUsedLabel.Text) * 0.00175)[/B]
        End If

The code syntax is correct . it seems there is some logic error in your code. Run the code using brake points and check.
