Types incompatibles : 'string' et 'Extended'

You can't perform arithmetic with a Double and a String as operands.  You have to first convert the String to a Double/Extended first. Use StrToFloat() or equivalent for that.  And then you can convert the result back to a String using FloatToStr() or equivalent.

 

Try something more like this:

DBEdit43.Text := FloatToStr(0.000844 * StrToFloat(scGPDBEdit82.Text));

Also note, aehimself, that StrToFloat will cause an exception if scGPDBEDit82.Text is not a valid floating point number.

To avoid that, you could use https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Alexandria/en/System.SysUtils.StrToFloatDef If the conversion fails, the default is returned instead.

On the other hand, depending on the situation, it would probably be better not to perform the calculation at all if the input is invalid, in which case TryStrToFloat() would make more sense if you want to avoid the exception and skip the calculation at the same time.

Thanks for the clarification, Remy.
