The following macro code example converts a numeric value to a string
value, and then removes the leading space that was automatically added by
Str() using the LTrim$() function. The variable "lastName" is then joined
with "empcode" and stored in the variable "license":
In Visual Basic for Applications, you can convert numeric values
to string values with the Visual Basic for Applications CStr() function.
The function will drop the leading space automatically without the need for
using the Trim$() function, as in the following example:
The Str() function is used to convert a numeric value to a string. This
can be useful when using the MsgBox statement to concatenate text and a
