Error - User input GUI not recording proper values

[QuantumC]

Hello,

 

I am running this code below.  I am attempting to validate data from a website to an excel sheet that I have.  I just want the user to enter the row, column and number of items which must be checked.  When these values are entered I get the values "4", "6", & "8" returned no matter what is typed in the first GUI box.   

 

Any suggestions, I am a bit over my head here.

 

Cheers,

Use GUICtrlRead to get the contents of the control. The variables you're using only hold the control id of the control, not its contents.

Thanks, BrewMan

I am only experienced with Matlab, so asking Autoit to grab the actual number not the identifer did not occur to myself.

Common mistake when first staying out.
