The simple way is to just assign it, idNo = 'XX22'. If you must convert
from a string though, put the string in a character array, then try:
idNo =
idStr[3]*0x01000000+idStr[2]*0x00010000+idStr[1]*0x00000100+idStr[0];
That should work, although I haven't confirmed it (the indices might be
reversed).

Steve

hmmmmmm,...... i just started trying that. at first i thought it wasn't
working but then i found that it doesn't work with open dbs.
anywaz, say i have a string "XX22", and i want to use that as the search
pattern,... i would normally pass 'XX22' which is an int. how do i convert
the string into the ' ' format?
