Simply set the TYPE of the input pin to REAL on the object where the
string is going. Its one of the many things in VEE that are only easy
once you know how.

Mike,
There are 2 methods. You can use a "From String" object and select the type to Real (which happens to be the
default). The alternative is to use a formula and change the data type on the input pin to real.

Using the from string has the advantage of also stripping out any text from the string. The formula method
may execute somewhat faster. It did up until VEE 3.12. I have not done any benchmarks like this since then.
