Hi there,

I'm trying to test if a Character Field contains anything but numbers.
I did a test form on that I have a character field and a button. When
I click the button, it fires an Active Link with this RunIf:

'Character Field' LIKE "[^0-9]"

If the RunIf is true, the Active Link shows an error message.

Here's my test.

1. when I enter "1" into the character field and click the button I
get NO message so OK
2. when I enter "19" into the character field and click the button I
get NO message so OK
3. when I enter "a" into the character field and click the button I
get THE message so OK

4. when I enter "a2" into the character field and click the button I
get NO message and this is NOT OK

What's wrong with the case 4?

I thought I've said 'Character Field' LIKE "[^0-9]" which mean, if the
field contains anything but the the numbers from 0 to 9, the Run If is
TRUE and this should cause the error message. As far as I'm concerned
a2 isn't within 0-9, so where is there error message? What am I
missing?
