Zone wrote: Realm, You are most welcome. As usual, I have learned something from answering a post. Your approach to the problem is interesting. I've never used the .Text property with either a textbox or a cell. This property seems to be interpreting the two variables as text, regardless of what they are, so I'll file that away for future reference. Tally-ho! James RealmSteel wrote: You were right. I didn't think about that. This is all I had to do: If txtRFINum.Text = ActiveCell.Value Or txtRFINum.Text = ActiveCell.Text Then MsgBox "RFI Number Exists! Try Different Number." GoTo DupRFI Thanks a ton. Rich Zone wrote: Realm, Just a guess. Textbox values are text, so comparing a textbox value to a number isn't going to work. How about this: If Val(txtRFINum.Value) = ActiveCell.Value Then Not tested! HTH, James |
