Mark already gave you the correct answer of using the value function
(using the string function before writing, and the value function
when reading back). However, if as you say, you are saving
information into an external cast (stored on a hard disk), ther is an
alternative approach. Check out my article on DOUG about "Data cast
members". It might help you out and will definitely be faster:
