Hi Dave,
very funny :) Indeed if I would be online at my home I probably would have
found a goodone within 10 seconds using google. But I have to make by with
the offline msdn that came with my VB.NET install.
Cheers,
David

Appearantly I have been looking in all the wrong places. Maybe I should

find the ASCII tables yesterday as well...
