Behaviour is identical in either modes, i.e., LibO Basic, with Option Compatible, and Option VBA Support 0/1. <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - Instruction Cint fails when converting Hex strings of a negative value to a 16-bit integer value." href="show_bug.cgi?id=62326">tdf#62326</a> (Andreas Heinisch) So, this is not a bug, but the only way to get around it is to use aLong = CLng("&HFFE0")</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
