<%
    a = Request.Form("size")
    b = Request.Form("lights")
    c = Request.Form("logo")
    d = Request.form("zone")
    z = (a + b + c + d)
    Response.Write z
    %>

Z will only out put the values of a,b,c,d it will not add them together?

I can get the code to work if I replace the Request.Form with a number. It will total it correctly like this

<%
    a = 4
    b = 4
    c = 4
    d = 4
    z = (a + b + c + d)
    Response.Write z
    %>

it will give me 16

but why will it only display the Request.Form values and not total them???

VBScript has only one datatype - Variant. Form fields are handled as text fields. In VBscript, the '+' operator serves as arithemetic additional as well as string concatenation. So if you want to use arithmatic operators on form fields, you must first convert them to numeric values. Use the cint() function.
