lOutcomesCtyNo = Left(strOutcomes, 2)

I got this line of code in a pervious thread, from Tom Olgivy. Now it
won't run, getting a type mismatch. lOutcomesCtyNo is Dimmed as long,
strOutcomes is dimmed string. So why is it a type mismatch? I'm trying
to get the first 2 characters of strOutcomes, which is a number.
Does anyone know?
Thanks!

Dave,

That code depends upon the first two characters of strOutcomes being
numerice. If not, you'll get a type mismatch.

Found the problem. The code actually works, but it's going further down
the list than I realized and is hitting a condition I hadn't coded for
yet! So it works.
Thanks!
