Sorry, I forgot this: you must replace 3/4 to something else before you can Conv to ASCII. Arrrgh - this will not run. Next idea: Look into the string and find out what Conv makes out of "3/4" in ASCII - maybe it just makes "3/4" out of it? This is what you will have to look for. Your thing would then read as follows: > TRY wx = Conv(lp1[5], "UTF-8", "ASCII") > TRY wx = Replace(wx, "½", ".5") > TRY wx = Replace(wx, "¼", ".25") > TRY wx = Replace(wx, "3/4", ".75") We would need a String.Replace() function here...
