To get the value you MUST have a cast of proper fieldtype
while GetString works with any kind of vField

e.g.
dim f as vField
dim vf as VVarChar
dim vl as VULong
dim s as string
dim i as integer

f = mCursor.Field(myVarChar)
s = f.getString

vf = VVarChar(f)
s = f.Value

f = mCursor.Field(myVUlong)
s = f.getString
i = Val(s)

vl = VUlong(f)
i = vl.Value
s = Str(i)


Cool Runnings,
Erne.
