Byte array to string

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Relative newbie here using VB6 SP5.

Isn't there a faster way than looping through each element of a byte array to
extract a string? I seem to recall seeing a way to do it in one simple function
call but for the life of me I can't find it now. Or am I remembering wrong?

So if a byte array contained:
68 97 108 101 66

Instead of looping though concatenating CHR$(bytearray(loopcounter)) to get the
string "DaleB" (without the quotes of course) is there a built-in VB function to
just grab the whole string from the array in one gulp, something like
Namestring=ByteArray(), but that actually works! <g>

Thanks for your interest and help.

Dale
