Cerebrus, Thanks for the quick reply much appreciated.
Using part of my example above, I am taking data from a text box and putting into a string variable. String ls_input ls_input = control.Text ls_input = 'TESTER$12' I need to look at just the characters, 'TESTER', not '$12' and if they are uppercase, then give me a message. If the order was different, for example, 'T10E99S8T7E4R', all I want to know if the characters are uppercase, not the numbers or special characters, etc. Hope this helps, Thanks again.
