Passing Hex values

[Suneera]

He All,

How can I pass hex values as string into a function.
For example I want to pass (5A C9 02)(any number of) as a single string,
where the receiptant is a string variable

Thanks in advance

Suneera, You can use the hex function to convert a number into a string of
hexadecimal digits. Hex(5949698) will return the string "5AC902". Hope
this helps! --Sam

If I understand correctly...

Dim s As String
s=Chr$(CLng("&H5A")) & Chr$(CLng("&HC9")) & Chr$(CLng("&H02")) ...
Call MySub(s)

If you have control over the called routine I'd suggest changing it to a
byte array instead. Strings in VB are stored as unicode so you are
converting ascii->unicode->ascii and that slows things down and can lead to
some strange issues like:
If chr$(130)<chr$(255) Then Msgbox "you never get to this!"
