   Try converting the text values to numbers before adding them.   
      
      AmountDue = val(Item1Amt.Text) + val(Item2Amt.Text) +   
   val(Item3Amt.Text) + val(Item4Amt.Text) + val(Item5Amt.Text) +   
   val(Item6Amt.Text) + VItem7Amt.Text) + val(Item8Amt.Text) -   
   val(Item9Amt.Text) - val(ItemAAmt.Text)
