How can I convert a visual basic colour like &H8000000F& to something like #EEECDB with no components? Is it possible?

Thanks, Martin.

Found this at http://www.vb2themax.com/Item.asp?PageID=CodeBank&ID=270, hope it helps.

' convert a VB color code to the ##rrggbb format used in HTML attributes

Function ColorToHTML(ByVal color As Long) As String
    ' HTML color codes are in the format #RRGGBB (red, green, blue)
    ' while Hex(color) returns numbers in the format BBGGRR
    ' therefore we just have to invert the order of the
    ' hex values of red and blue
    Dim tmp As String
    tmp = Right$("00000" & Hex$(color), 6)
   
    ColorToHTML = "#" & Right$(tmp, 2) & Mid$(tmp, 3, 2) & Left$(tmp, 2)

End Function

I also found a little prgram at http://www.jsware.net/jsware/picker.html that will probally work as well.

Sorry I didn't explain myself porperly, ive got a visual basic program and it shows a webpage, but it is in  a microsoft sstab and you cant change the backcolor of it, so it opens the asp page using page.asp?c=&H8000000F& then in page.asp <body bgcolor="<%convertcolor(request.querystring("q"))%>">

Thanks, Martin.

Ps that code doesnt work even in visual basic...
