WriteProcessMemory is Going funky HELP!!

VB Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
WriteProcessMemory pHandle, &H100579C, "VALUE HERE", 1, 0&
 
'THIS RIGHTS TEH MEMORY, THEN THE PHANDLE THEN THE ADDRESS, ALWAYS
'PUT &H BEFORE ADDRESS, NEXTIS VALUE, not sure wah otehr to things
'are, i think that has to do with mking it a double/byte,etc.
End Sub
Where it says VALUE HERE is where im supost to write the value of the adress that i want it to change to.. well if i type in "10" as the value it changes to 51 when i press the button. Hmm then i was jsut testng stuff out and i typed for the value "BLAH BLAH" (i actually put the word BLAH BLAH) the value changes to 113. OK blah blah issint even a Proper Value what the heck is going on?? i tried typing in HEX but still wont change to the one i tell it to change to.. hmm is there another better code for Writing process memory??
