How do I find a specific characters position in a string variable
 

Hi
I need to find the position of a particular character in a string variable
within a macro.

I can do this using the command =FIND(" ",B2) in an excel sheet to return
the position of the first space in the string in Cell B2.

What is the equivilent in VBA?

I am using Excel XP (2002)

Thanks
Paul
