>Are there any good functions out there for working with bits other then the basic ones provided with VFP? Anything for example that you can pass a character and get the bit representation of that back, or vice versa? Any easy way to switch 1 specified bit in a certain position so you can work with the result?
There are a bunch of functions that work with BIT:
BITAND()
BITOR()
BITNOT()
BITXOR()
BITLSHIF()
BITRSHIF()
BITSET()
BITTEST()
BITCLEAR()
