OK. You could include leading/trailing blanks in your search string (i.e. [ SES ]) but that wouldn't help it it's the first word. Or as Tracy suggested, regex is an excellent way to go although I'd use Craig Boyd's most excellent Regexp library instead of the COM control.

Because of this scenario: STRTRAN("SES SENSES READING","SES","*") That would replace part of the other word with "SES" in it. I only want to do this for whole words in the sentence. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/df1eef11e586a64fb54a97f22a8bd0440682815...@ackbwddqh1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
