Bob,

Thanks for the response. The formula that you sent returns everything as a
problem. If I use the other feedback, where it was suggested that I change
the text 08 to a number, then everything returns as blank, as a result of ""
at the end. I stumped on this and what I may have to do is to add another
column to do the validation that I want to do...not the best answer but a
quick one.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look at this.

Brian
