Visual Basic, Check string?

Check string?

Author	Message
Lars-Gunna #1 / 3	Check string? Hi. In my program the user enters a string and the application checks if it's spelled right or wrong, how do i locate the error in the string? Ex. string to be entered: "Visual Basic" Entered string: "visual lasic" How do I for example a msgbox with the text: "you spelled wrong: "visual Lasic"" (note the big L)? Thanks

Unless you are testing the users' typing ability or their spelling ability, it would be much better to give them a list box or a combo box from which they can choose the appropriate phrase. Obviously, if you can check phrases for validity, you know what they should be. Otherwise, you should use a spelling checker... third party, or the one in Office via automation. That will, unfortunately, check only word by word. -- L. M.
