Here is my issue:
For example, €˜txt is coming from a cell in a worksheet entered by the user.

Function Test(txt as string) as string
If (txt = "comm. lse" Or txt = "ME") Then
Do this
Else
Do that
End If
End Function

If the user enters Comm Lse, the statement will €œDo that€� instead of €œDo
this€�. Any suggestions? (drop downs are not welcomed by the users...yet!)

Hi Ed

if you want a case insesitive function you can do something along the
following lines

Function Test(txt As String) As String
If (LCase(txt) = "comm. lse" Or UCase(txt) = "ME") Then
Do this
Else
Do that
End If
End Function

Cheers

For example, 'txt' is coming from a cell in a worksheet entered by the
user.

If (txt = "comm. lse" Or txt = "ME") Then
Do this
Else
Do that
End If

If you're just worried about case:

Public Function Test(txt As String) As String
If (LCase(txt) = "comm. lse" Or UCase(txt) = "ME") Then
'Do this
Else
'Do that
End If
End Function

note that this will not catch the lack of a "." in your example.
