I agree that it would be very useful.
Here is a typical use for Val():
A User types a time into a textbox, say "18:36".
I extract the hours portion using stringsex.mid to give a string called (say) MyHours holding "18".
Now I can code
if val(MyHours)<12 then
.......
end if
See how the computation is treating the string "18" as the value 18.
Voila!
I use this Val() function in VB6 a lot.
Is this helpful?
