Couldn't you assign it to a dummy variable and if there indeed is a
carraige return, couldn't you just strip it off then?

  Dum$=HEX$(1234..)
  Dum$=left$(Dum$, LEN(Dum$)-1)   'if we're stripping c/r
  PRINT Dum$;

Why sure <grin>, but I thought maybe there was a magical way to call HEX$ that
might not be documented that would not place the Carriage Return after the
hex number.
 
Thanks for the note.  I found it an interesting discovery last nite.
