Are you checking the length of the string before trying this? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurence Bevan Sent: Thursday, 26 October 2006 9:31 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [DUG] Ord value of String character This is probably simple but I can't get my head around it this morning. I have a string variable of which I want to obtain the ASCII value of the first character in the string. I've tried Ord(String[1]) but keep getting an error. Do I need to cast the first character to a Byte type or something?
