Sorry for the question, but I'm VB beginner ;-}

What is the/Is there a difference between hex and hex$ statement?

The former returns a Variant (of VarType String) and the latter returns a true String.

Due to Visual Basic's implicit type conversion this rarely makes any difference at all but there is a (minute) speed penalty for using Hex() and then coercing it into a String.
