	If your VocherPrint.YearsRef is a number or date datatype you will get this error. Make sure you convert it to a string. You can use: CStr{VocherPrint.YearsRef}) or ToText({VocherPrint.YearsRef}) in your Mid function Hope this helps Regards John W. www.CustomReportWriters.net

	I am guessing that YearsRef is either a date or a number, Mid only works on strings...so as John gave, you need to convert your number/date to a string. just for future reference
