Retrieving data from a cursor

[chuck hinkle]

I've been retrieving data from cursors with
   MyString = MyCursor.field("abc").getstring
No problems.

Now, I want to retrieve a numeric field.
    MyNumber = MyCursor.field("amount").?????
Do I have to use Getstring and the CDbl command to convert it, is is there a
trick that I don't see. I've gone through the RB tutorial, and I've been
looking at pp 30-39 about the Vfield class in the RB reference, but I don't
see the way to do it.
