If EditField.Text = "*:06" then blahblahblah End If The asterisk(*) is normally a wildcard character, but if I use it like this I will just search for an actual "*". My question is how would I go about this, what is the wildcard character when using EditFields? Or would I just have to search for the actual value(like "5:06", "6:06")?
