Converting String to Long?

I have a string.. it looks like this:
"21670119994"

I want to convert that to a long integer.. I get an error when I use Clng("21670119994").

Is there a better way to do this.

Thanks in advance. I know, I should already know this.. but I've never had to do it before so now it matters. =).

well what is the error?!

The range for a 'long' is -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

Convert to a 'single' or a 'double' instead.

Or you could convert it to "Currency"

Actually, I found a little snip that does what I needed.. I just send it as a string (because that's how I get the information), and the snip converts it to a byte array and then processes it.

Thanks for the help. =).

Go ahead and post the code so someone searching the forums for this solution will find it in this thread.... (heck, I might sometime need it too)
