try this (I got this from "Crazy D @ work"

private Function LShiftWord(byval w as Integer, byval c as Integer) as Integer
Dim dw as Long
dw = w * (2 ^ c)
If dw And &H8000& then
LShiftWord = CInt(dw And &H7FFF&) Or &H8000
else
LShiftWord = dw And &HFFFF&
End If
End Function

Shifting to the left acts as a multiplier and to the right divides.
If you myltiply by 16 you will shift 1 position. Multiply (or divide) as many times as possible). I think it should work
