    Re: hex - hex$ ?

    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.

    HTH,
