    I created a data source that runs a VB script to collect data about files being published for other systems to read. The script works great and returns all the data perfectly in 135 property bags. When the bags are returned using the returnItems command I get the following error. The location issue that was pointed out in several other questions is not the issue here.   

     

    Module was unable to convert parameter to a double value

    Original parameter: '$Data/Property[@Name=stdValue']$'

    Parameter after $Data replacement: '$Data/Property[@Name=stdValue']$'

    Error: 0x80020005

    Details: Type mismatch.

    What this means is that the data you put in that property and the type you are trying to store it in are not compatible.  Returning a property bag and then passing that through a mapper (the typical case) will try and map the value to the final type.  From your posts title, somewhere you have learned that the conversion is to a double.  Doubles are floating point #'s.  So if you are trying to map a string to a double, or an integer to a double, I would expect this error

    You wlll also need a counter name.

    In the value you are returning, make sure there is a decimal point.
