Ok, that needed some maintenance, now you can use up to base 201

Code:

---

' - - - - - - - K E D A M A N S    C O D E- - - - - - -30.5.00 ( updated 9.6.00 )
' Base mod decimal converters
'IE bin 2 dec
' Base2dec("1234",2)
' oct 2 bin
' dec2base(Base2dec("1234",8),2)
'trin 2 hex
' dec2base(Base2dec("1234",3),16)
Function Base2Dec(val$, base%): Dim n%, a() As Byte
    a = StrConv(UCase(val), vbFromUnicode)
    For n = 1 To Len(val)
        Base2Dec = CDec(Base2Dec + (a(n - 1) - 48 + 7 * (a(n - 1) > 64)) * base ^ (Len(val) - n))
    Next n
End Function
Function Dec2Base$(val, base%): Dim n%, s
    For n = 0 To 100
        s = Int(val / base ^ n)
        If s = 0 Then Exit For
        s = s - Int(s / base) * base 's mod base
        Dec2Base = Chr(s + 48 - 7 * (s > 9)) & Dec2Base
    Next n
End Function

here:

Function HexToDec(TheHex As String) As Long
HexToDec = CLng("&H" & TheHex)
End Function

Hello Mag-Net,

Try this source:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Tabel As String
Dim Temp, N As Integer
Dim Answer As Long

Answer = 0
Tabel = "0123456789ABCDEF"
'if you want to create Octal to decimal: Tabel = "01234567"

Text1.Text = UCase(Text1.Text)

For N = 1 To Len(Text1.Text)
Temp = InStr(1, Tabel, Mid(Text1.Text, N, 1)) - 1
Answer = Answer + (16 ^ (Len(Text1.Text) - N)) * Temp
Next N

MsgBox Answer
End Sub


Good luck,

Michelle.
