    I need to format a load of hexadecimal numbers. They go from 0 to FFFFFF. If I try to use

    Format(Text1.Text, "000000")

    saying text1.text contains 4104F, it returns 4104F. I need it to return 04104F. Is there any way to do it? And the hex length is varying, could be 2 characters, like 4A or 6 chars like 564A89.

    I've had similiar problems with the Format function in the past. I wrote my own little format function and used that instead. You need to loop determine how many preceeding zeros you need and then add them to the string which represents your hex value.

    could you give me a little help with that? I've no idea how to say "If there 1 char, add 5 "0"'s, if theres 2 chars add 4 "0"'s etc..." In visual basic
