Jacob,

You don't need to do that with instr, you can use the optional switch of 1
(VBTextCompare) and it ignores case. If you use the switch you have to
specify the other optional start character.

Convert the text string and search string to the same case and then use Instr.

Lcase() for lower case
Ucase() for upper case

? instr("enough tables and Chairs to seat 236", "chairs")

This returns 0 because I'm not using a capital "C" in chairs

Is there a command to cause Excel to be non case-specific ?

Thanks - Kirk
