"Coerce String To Boolean"
Return the Boolean value whose in-memory representation is the same as the first two characters in string vString.

Examples: 
    CoerceToBoolean(Chr$(0) + Chr$(0)) = False
    CoerceToBoolean(Chr$(255) + Chr$(255)) = True
    IsNull(CoerceToBoolean(Null)) = True

vString: The string whose first two characters are to be interpreted as a Boolean 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 2 characters long (the size of a Boolean value).
Note: If vString is more than two characters long, the leftmost two characters are coerced to a Boolean 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.
