Does anyone know how to convert a number contained in a string variable into an integer? What I want to do is take the timestamp from the image header and turn it into an integer which then can be added or subtracted to other integers.

    Val(String) will convert the string to a numeric value, based on the numberic characters in the string.

    If you call IpDocGetPropDate, you can get the time stamp of an image captured by Image-Pro as a Date value, which may be more useful than an integer.
