Why do I get a 'Type Mismatch' error when I try to pass variables to a dll from my ASP?

Jerry Yoakum,

The variables in your ASP are of type Variant, but in your dll you 
specify a different type.
example (code with error)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ASP Code:
    dim pldm(15), i
    for i = 1 to 15
      pldm(i) = objPhePrice.PlateData(i)
      %><br>pldm(<%=i%>) = <%=pldm(i)%><%
    next
  dll Code:
    Public Function PlateData(iIndex As Integer) As Single
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dll is expecting to receive an Integer but instead gets a Variant. 
To beat this problem use a conversion function.  More more information 
on conversion functions goto the FAQTS: ASP Functions page

example (code without error)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ASP Code:
    dim pldm(15), i
    for i = 1 to 15
      pldm(i) = objPhePrice.PlateData(CInt(i))
      %><br>pldm(<%=i%>) = <%=pldm(i)%><%
    next
  dll Code:
    Public Function PlateData(iIndex As Integer) As Single
