>But I have my original question answered: what is a DWORD and Cetin here helped me name my function and as Peter de Valenca has said, what I really want in a function name is something that is accurate - but that accuracy has to be balanced with something I can remember - I think I like the DWordToNum() best (if someone has better name that is more accurate, I'm still open to suggestions).

Anyhow, the name is important because if you don't use the function for a long time, it helps to have *some* idea of what you might have called it. And as someone has pointed out, sometimes the names given by MSFT to functions seem "odd" to us who have to use them!
