Thanks a bunch. I found a basic equation parser for Visual Basic and it worked great for my Function!

Ya, That's kind of what I was afraid I would have to do. The only problem is, I want to do this not only with addition, but with Division, Subtraction, and even using custom functions of my own, all with the correct order of operations. A routine to decode something like "(4+4)/6*98" would be very complex. Any thoughts on an easier way to do this?

Does anyone know of a way to take a string like "2+5", convert it to an integer and calculate it to get the answer 7? I've tried just using the Cint() Function but it says there are inadmissible data types (It probably doesn't like the "+" sign)
