  19. You asked:
  20.  
  21. | Is there some way to get the string form of a number?  Thanks.
  22.  
  23. Yes, there IS a way.  In my own code, I used:
  24.  
  25. StringF(num,'\d',j-1)
  26.  
  27. Where 'num' becomes the buffer into which a string form of 'j-1' (a LONG value,
  28. formatted by '\d') is placed.  Hope that helps.
