Hello all,
I've been working on a prog that has an array of 16 combo boxes. These boxes are automatically filled upon loading with 127 different options. When I started defining a file structure to save my prog within I ran into some trouble. I decided that for ease of use (so I would not have to parse 0), I would take those 16 different settings and convert them to a character (ascii/ansi chr range 0 - 255) and this would take up much less space (one byte instead of a max of 3). However, I've ran into a problem with loading the data back in. It seems that whenever vb encounters a 44 or a "," it breaks off the remainder of the string. I'm just loading the data as a single (somewhat long) string.

I haven't had much time to look into it, but I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems, and/or knows of a solution to my dilemma?

(BTW I'm using VB 6.0 Ent)

Thanks!
