Run time error 13 Type Mismatch

[jheiss]

FYI I was just getting this runtime error 13 type mismatch error. In my case it ended up being that I had accidentally entered garbage into the X&Y Move box in the ShopBot software. I guess it didn't like that there wasn't a number there. Once I put a number back in that box the error went away.

jheiss,
Same thing here. I must have fat fingered some junk into the command line box. Once I entered a valid command and executed it the error went away. No need to muck with the registry.

Just a suggestion. In cases where deleting a file or folder seems necessary I usually first rename with a bogus file extension. If all then works good I go back and delete. If not I can always go back and change the name and extension back as it was.

HMM... Time for a little error checking on input?

Ron,

I agree!!! As someone who has previously coded for a living, a programmer should never rely on the entries of a human, there should always be error checking or validation of the entry. It does make for more work on the programmer but less chance of an invalid entry......

Hello this happened to me but the error pops up right when the control software opens so it wont let me fix it. I put .4.0 in the box due to my fat fingers.....

Tom at shopbot got it figured out. I had to go to C:\ProgramData\ShopBot\ShopBot 3\shopbot.ini and edit the VS line and it fixed it right up.
