    I have a form that submits a value. I need to perform several calculations on this value so I Dim it from the start. e.g.
    
Dim MyValue
MyValue = request.form("MyValue")
    Code (markup):
    Trouble is I need to call a function to strip rogue characters from it. 
    Call StripChar(MyValue)
    Code (markup):
    Is there a simple way to dim this so i don't have to repeatedly use Call StripChar(MyValue) each time i refer to it?

    
Dim MyValue
MyValue = Call StripSpecialChar(MyValue)
    Code (markup):
    Doesn't work... Thanks!

    If it is a function you should not be using the Call statement.

    Try:

    
Dim MyValue
MyValue = request.form("MyValue")
MyValue = StripSpecialChar(MyVaue)
    Code (markup):

    Yeah, no need for call:

    
Dim MyValue
MyValue = StripSpecialChar(request.form("MyValue"))
    Code (markup):
    And you do have to reference the function each time.
