Howard,

VBA supports bitwise AND (and ORs). For example,

Dim X As Integer
Dim Y As Integer
Dim Z As Integer
X = 19 '10011
Y = 11 '01011
Z = X And Y ' Z = 3
Debug.Print Z

I want to use boolean masking eg 10011 AND 01011 should return
00011 but I
just keep getting TRUE or FALSE from the AND operator. Is
there something
I'm missing or can EXCEL not do this?

Thanks for any help
