Can you be more explicit as to what your ultimately trying to do?

What 'string' are you trying to convert....can you give example?

Just curious but why do you want to convert the string?

Try this and tell me what happens. If bad stuff, revert to above questions and reply.

' add the Asc to conversion
i = CByte(Asc(str1))
' ok?
