vString: The string whose first 8 (eight) characters are to be interpreted as a Currency value. Function returns Null if vString is Null or cannot be fixed up to a String.

Note: Function generates the Visual Basic Error "Illegal Function Call" if vString is less than 8 characters long (the size of a Currency value).
Note: If vString is more than eight characters long, the leftmost eight characters are coerced to a Currency value.

Note: This function first converts the string from Unicode to the default code page of the system.
v1.3 Change: Removed 16-bit support from this function.
