Question

Hey all i am probably overthinking this but how can i check the textbox for either a 655 or 699 in the first 3 numbers in the textbox?

The current code i how now works but displays an error if (im guessing) it doesnt find the other number in the textbox as well:

 If Microsoft.VisualBasic.Mid(txtNumber.Text, 1, 3) <> 655 Or Microsoft.VisualBasic.Mid(txtNumber.Text, 1, 3) <> 699 Then
 'ERROR
 end if

What would i be doing incorrectly?

Answer 1

Like so:

If Left(txtNumber.Text, 3) = "655" OrElse Left(txtNumber.Text, 3) = "699" Then 
   ' good?
End if 

Although it looks like you might want an error if it’s not either one, in which case just wrap the two test above in paran’s and put a Not before them.
