Kilobytes to megabytes?

[MPrestonf12]

Does anyone know the conversion of KB to mb? thanks

[Sam Finch]

1024Kb in an Mb

so to convert multiply the number of Mb to get the no of Kb

Divide the number of Kb by 1024 to get the number of Mb

If you want to quickly convert Bytes into KB/MB/GB use this code from Vbworld

Private Declare Function StrFormatByteSize Lib _
	"shlwapi" Alias "StrFormatByteSizeA" (ByVal _
	dw As Long, ByVal pszBuf As String, ByRef _
	cchBuf As Long) As String

Public Function FormatKB(ByVal Amount As Long) _
	As String
	Dim Buffer As String
	Dim Result As String
	Buffer = Space$(255)
	Result = StrFormatByteSize(Amount, Buffer, _
		Len(Buffer))
	If InStr(Result, vbNullChar) > 1 Then
		FormatKB = Left$(Result, InStr(Result, _
			vbNullChar) - 1)
	End If
End Function

Use it like

Newvar = FormatKB(OldVar)

Here is an example of what Sam Finch said,

FS = FileLen("C:\autoexec.bat") / 1024 'returns 0.5107421875
'If you want to have no decimal, change the / to \
Msgbox FS

Thanks everyone it works great!

be careful
there is an SI version(decimal) and a binary version

SI is one kilobyte is 1,000 bytes
SI is one meg is 1,000 Kb or 1,000,000bytes
SI is one gig is 1,000,000,000 bytes

binary is traditionaly written KiB or MiB or GiB
one KiB is 1024 bytes
one MiB is 1024 KiB
one GiB is 1024 MiB

the problem is what are some utility programs using.
older comuter programs typically use binary but not allways.

This is why marketing is such a big department.
6 GiB is 6.4Gb in SI units Which are you going to buy?
I always like the SI standards but I take exception here. I think that the binary unit is needed simply because of the nature of the computer.
I think money talks, and SI walks
