Retrieving non-string values

[chuck hinkle]

I don't know why I continue to be confused by this topic; it doesn't seem
like it should be difficult.


I have a table with a variable in it named Vsize, and it's defined as a
vuShort. In my RB program, I'm having trouble moving it to a variable
dimensioned as an integer.

I know that if my variable were a string, I could use
    VSize = my_cursor.field("VSize").getstring
>From what I read, it seems like I need to do
    VSize = vushort(my_cursor.field("VSize"))  but that gives me a Type
Mismatch error (perhaps because I'm trying to move a vushort to an
integer?).

Any advice on this one?
