It is because the "+", when dealing with strings, is a form of concatenation (appending the "right" string to the end of the "left" one). If you want to do actual math addition you need to convert those strings to integers or decimals. Probably decimals since you are dealing with money.

Conversion info:

Whoops - that's for .NET. Regardless check out your book for 'type conversion'.

Try this

Deposit = Val(txtDeposit.Text) + Val(txtAccBal.Text)

in VBA -- Val will actually perceive the string as an integer
