I was wondering if there is documentation that identifies how to change =
data.
I have a value in sql for a key value that is integer. When I retrieve =
the key value. from a list I show a value of 155. When I use dbgui to =
access the edb database created in sql, It shows my value of 667.That is =
what i entered, but I can't convert it.
I thought there might be a document that show what changes data. I know =
there is a difference of single quotes and double quotes but I would a =
cheat sheet to refer to the methods used to enter data and retrieve it.

I'm not familiar with the data formats used in EDB, but it looks to me
like you're only extracting the low byte of an integer.
Note that 667 = 2*256 + 155.
You will probably have difficulty 'converting' this number, since _any_
number with a low byte of 155 will appear to be 155 if you use the same
method to access it.
i.e. 411, 667, 923, 1179, 1435, etc. would all become 155, and it is
impossible to tell which one it was in the first place.
Maybe there's a different function call you can use to extract the right
data?
