Hex->Decimal

Hi all, any ideas what the most efficient way to convert hex->decimal is? I
wrote a routine that used a really shady technique that was about 30 lines
long and I forgot to save it, doh. Now I'm looking for a way to do it
without retyping all that junk. So... any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Jado.

Use the Hex() function. It's 1 line long.

Thirty lines long? How about:

Dim lValue As Long
lValue = CLng("&H" & sHexString)

Just using Hex() will give you Decimal -> Hex, to go the other way you could
use something like this:

CInt("&H" & Hex(x)) ... or maybe use CLng depending on what you need.

Probably the best way to do it in VB..

You dancer, thanks for the help guys, the

lValue = CLng("&H" & sHexString)

works, I'm glad I asked here before I tried rewriting my messy code.

Thanks again.
Jado.
