Mike, Ooops. You're right of course - I meant to say Chr().

I don't think you quite understand, what's going on here. In any programming language, whether you write a number as, say 255, or $FF - it is completely irrelevant. Compiler understands both as a number. The Ord function takes a Char and returns its byte value - and you want to do the other way round, right? Just use the Char function on each field of the array, like YourCharVar:=Char(a1[3]); Cheers Mike _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
