Converting nvarchar to int
Hello all,
I'm trying to convert a nvarchar datatype to int (ie:1234-56-78 to 12345678) . These values are primary keys in two tables. Both these tables have 3500 rows of this key type. I want to convert this to a int so I can make it a AutoNumber primary key so I can increment it. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it. Do I need to delete the dashes first some how? I fairly new to database adminstration, so any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thank You Last edited by ndn_24_7 : October 28th, 2004 at 03:48 PM. Reason: update example

you can do something like: newNumber = clng(replace(RS("KeyNum"), "-", ""))
This will remove the hyphens and convert the string into a number. However, you won't be able to write this (or any) number to an AutoNumber field, since that number is automatically incremented and supplied by the database itself.
