ASP IsNumeric() = False?

[Uncle Ben]

I wrote a stored procedure to INSERT a new row in the database. It returns
the new ID via @@IDENTITY.

This value is read by my ASP and stored in variable intNewID. The value
displays fine via <%= intNewID %>. But when I tested it using
IsNumeric(intNewID), it returned False.

Why is that?

Maybe you could show your actual code?

Just for the record, IsNumeric is not part of ASP.

Since you didn't post your code, I'll guess that you're reading a recordset,
and assigning the variable something like this:

intNewID = objRS("ID")

Do you note any difference if you change it to this?

intNewID = objRS.Fields("ID").Value

You are right, it is part of asp-vbscript.
