>If at all possible, I would rather do the conversions right from VFP. It has been many years that I have done anything in basic and would just rather use VFP for this. Any other help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, Ron.
It's not hard at all to write this in Basic. I can write an example for you and then you just can use it as a template.

Otherwise, Dragan told us that he has a couple functions to decode floating point numbers, not specifically oriented to basic, but you can twik them to fit your purpose.

Just choose a path and contact any of us.

Good luck!
