Display 2 WORDs as a 32bit integer

[amgen]

Is it possible to describe the method or algorithm to get the decimal from the possible 8 hexadecimal of 32 bit number.... the conversion itself is pretty straight forward but the 8 bit manipulations are confusing...

Just wanted to thank you once again

No problem Henrik glad you could make it work for you. its good to exercise the grey matter occasionally

to which 8bit manipulations do you refer ?

Consider this code.

dim array[8] as byte                        ' your hex bytes ($00-$0F) are input here from MSN to LSNibble
decimal  as long                             ' 32 bit value

     decimal = 0
     for i = 0 to 7
           decimal = decimal * 16             ' nibble max value is 16, so multiply the existing value by 16 to move decimal value one nibble to the left
           decimal = decimal + array[i]     ' add in the new nibble
     next
     
     ' at this point, decimal contains the converted value of the hex digits

Is this what you're looking for?
