I assume this to be a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer through searching Google. Nevertheless, how do I convert a string value such as "12345" to an integer such as 12345? I want to do a function similar to Val(string). Thanks for your help!

Cint(string) or Cdbl(string) and so on... depends in what you want to convert your string.

IE
strString = "12"
intString = Cint(strString)
