Convert hex value to a decimal value in VB6

Question

How can I convert a hex value to a decimal value in VB6?

I\'m trying just to see if this works:

Dim hexVal as string
hexVal = \"#7B19AB\"
clng(\"&H\

Be very carful.

Dim hexVal as string
hexVal = "FFFF"
clng("&H" & hexVal)

will return a value of -1 because it thinks your HEX value is signed. See what happens with F00A, again it thinks its signed.

Replace the Clng with ABS.
