Wondering if someone could help me convert a Hex number to an Int
value.

What I want to do is read Hex information from the registry and
convert it to its reciprical ascii character. to do that I would need
to convert it to an int value so that it could be used in the CHR()
function.

And ideas would be greatly appreciated.
