    Strings cannot be stored in hexadecimal form! Hexadecimal can only store numbers. If you wanted to store a string in Hex, you'd have to convert all the characters to their ascii codes first

    here is how to convert a string to hex using ascii conversion first:


    Hex(Asc(sString))

    Note that Asc("thestring") will only return the character code for the first letter, ie t .... you would need to loop through the whole lot to get all their ascii code. Storing a string in hex format is very inefficient...!

    Err yeah sorry I forgot to mention that.  It was late last night  =]   If you are looking to just do an encryption, my suggestion would be to keep the characters of the string each in single ascii characters.  Just use a complicated equation to calculate the method.
