Sorry, I forgot this: you must replace 3/4 to something else before you 
can Conv to ASCII. Arrrgh - this will not run.

Next idea: Look into the string and find out what Conv makes out of 
"3/4" in ASCII - maybe it just makes "3/4" out of it? This is what you 
will have to look for. Your thing would then read as follows:

We would need a String.Replace() function here...
