dword to long?

[TheBigB]

hi all,

i have this function that puts a dword in the registry. the problem is, it requires a Long variable, which is only numbers. The dword I want to put in is something like: 0000d6
i get the error type mismatch, what i do understand
my question: how do i convert dword to long?

thanx in advance

I Think....

Private Sub Form_Load()
    MsgBox cLong("0000d6")
End Sub
 
Private Function cLong(Hx As String) As Long
    cLong = CLng("&H" & Hx)
End Function

should work?
