I just crufted this up real quick.... basically, what you have to do, is to "cast" each string variable to an integer (the "val" function would also work, instead of cint, but cint makes more sense here, since the values are integers and not doubles. So, you simply cast the string to an integer (with cint) and add the values:

Dim a As String
Dim b As String
Dim c As String

a = "40"
b = "50"
c = "60"

MsgBox CInt(a) + CInt(b) + CInt(c)

' /* Or We Could Use This, But The Above Makes Better Sense */

MsgBox Val(a) + Val(b) + Val(c)
