Jim,
The ASC command gets the ASCII code for a char. For example:
debug.print asc("A")
The above line with print 65 in the immediate debug window.

The Mid$ is like the Left$ and Right$ commands. Where left$ and
Right$ get the left and right most chars, depending on how many chars
you ask for.
Example of right$ and Left$:
a = "Test Right"
b = "test left"
Debug.Print Right$(a, 5) ' Prints "Right" (5 right most chars of the
string)
Debug.Print Left$(b, 4) `Prints "test" (4 left most chars of the
string)

The Mid$ is used to get the middle of the string. For example:
a = "1234567890"
`Mid$ syntax on next line
'mid$([noparse][[/noparse]String],[noparse][[/noparse]Start of string],[noparse][[/noparse]number of chars to get from the
string])
Debug.Print Mid$(a, 1, 1) 'prints 1
Debug.Print Mid$(a, 2, 2) 'prints 23
Debug.Print Mid$(a, 3, 1) 'prints 3
Debug.Print Mid$(a, 4, 3) 'prints 456
Debug.Print Mid$(a, 5, 1) 'prints 5

You could even do something like this:
For z = 1 To Len(a)
Debug.Print Mid$(a, z, 1)
Next z
This loop with go though the entire string displaying one char at a
time.

Hope this helps,
Walter
