....is it possible?

I have a desire to do the following...

dim b() as byte ' for interoperability issues it needs to be bytes
b="abc"

Which works, except that when I examine b it is [97 0 98 0 99 0] not
[97 98 99] as I expected...

Short of writing some code to remove the 0's, is there a "better way" to
accomplish what I want?

Thanks!
Bruce

b = StrConv("abc", vbFromUnicode)

Note that this is converting TO DBCS/MBCS (With potential data loss
depending on codepages).
The original version you quoted was UCS-2 (unicode)
