ERROR: Object must implement IConvertible.

[charleswesley]

I think the problem is with the strPrice variable in the AddToCart()
sub. I've been messing with it all morning and can't seem to figure it
out. Any ideas?

SOLUTION:

Dim strSQL AS String = "INSERT INTO CART (GUID, product, quantity,
cost) VALUES (@GUID, @product, @quantity, CAST(@cost As Money))"
