Dwords to 2 words and back?

I got to fetch and poke data to an FX2n PLC.

I'm getting 32 bit register data that I get in terms of 2 signed words (lsw and msw) that I need to put back together as a Dword.

I also need to take a Dword and figure out the 2 words that make it and send back to the PLC.

It's MX Component and VB6. I got a formula but it does not work if the msw is a negative integer?

Any ideas? I need to do the conversion in VB6.

Thanks,
Mike
