There is no such function in VB 6.0.

Not familiar with the term "haystack" in relation to VB. Can you give us some context?

The term "stack" does have a particular meaning when talking about programming languages.

Silly me. didn't know it was an actual "function". I always thought "haystack" was filler variable for tutorials or examples like "myString" or "myStr" is to Java in: "string myString; myString = "hello, world!" "

I also thought that "needle" was the same so when you use a string finder function, the "haystack" is the block of text to look in and the "needle" was the key work/string/char to look for in the "haystack".
