The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Looking for Long to Hex Conversion

Asked by jgillelpaso in Visual Basic v1.0.5.x, Visual Basic Programming

I am using an old version of an accounting program that stores it numbers as a 7 byte string.

I convert the string to a currency value using the following code:
=========================================================================
Dim InputAmt as String, Value as Currency
InputAmt = String(7,Chr(0))
Get #1,,InputAmt
Value = CMSDollar(InPutAmt)

Function CMSDollar(InPutAmt as String) As Currency
    DigitsToLeftofDecimal = Val(Right(Hex(Asc(InPutAmt$)), 1))
    Select Case Left(Hex(Asc(InPutAmt$)), 1)
        Case "4": Neg = 1
        Case "3": Neg = 0.1
        Case "C": Neg = -1
        Case "B": Neg = -0.1
    End Select
    For i = 2 To 7
        If Val(Hex(Asc(Mid(InPutAmt$, i, 1)))) <= 9 Then
            TempAmt$ = TempAmt$ + "0" + Hex(Asc(Mid(InPutAmt$, i, 1)))
        Else
            TempAmt$ = TempAmt$ + Hex(Asc(Mid(InPutAmt$, i, 1)))
        End If
    Next i
    CMSDollar@ = Neg * (CCur(Val(Left(TempAmt$, DigitsToLeftofDecimal) + _
                       "." + Mid(TempAmt$, _
                       DigitsToLeftofDecimal + _
                       1, Len(TempAmt$)))))
End Function
=======================================================================
I know this is probably not the best coding but you should get the idea. I would like two new functions

one to clean up the function shown above and the other to convert a number into the proper format to place back into the data file so the accounting program will be able to recognize it.
