Set up string constant like vbcrlf

Glasgow · May 12, 2005

Is it possible to set up a string constant containing a binary or hex value. The code below achieves what I want:

Code:

Private Const FldDelim As String = "ÿ"

but ideally I'd use something like:

Code:

Private Const FldDelim As String = Chr(255) 'This
Private Const FldDelim As String = "&HFF"   'or this

but one is illegal and the other is nonsense. If there is an answer, I imagine it's very simple!

Thanks in advance.

This is precisely one of those things we had hoped to see corrected in VB7, which we never got.
