Hi .
I have a form that contains 2 text box , one is (txtArticle) represents the article number. and the other one represents the size (txtsize) , i want when i choose the txtArticle to see if the txtArticle begins with 0 to do some thing ( set another text box to visible).
and if the chosen txtArticle begins with 1 to do something else ...., and if it begins with 2 , also another thing ... is there any method i can take the 1st digit number from the txtArticle??
my Article number is a saved in the database as number , and can maximum be 7 digit!

Try this

if left(cstr(txtArticle),1) = "0" then
'   stuff for the 0s
elseif left(cstr(txtArticle),1) = "1" then
'   stuff for the 1s
elseif left(cstr(txtarticle),1) ="2" then
   ' stuff for the 2s
elseif left(cstr(txtarticle,1) = "3" then
  ' stuff for the 3's
'etc...
else
   ' stuff for none of the above
endif
