Default Validate part of string

Hi,

I'm not sure how to go about this. I need to validate a textbox. Any value
can be in the textbox but if certain values are there they need to be the
first item in the box and 3 of them must be spelled correctly. The items:
"Major", "Major Tenant", & "Anchor" must be spelled correctly, but they can
have additional information after them.

Here's what I have so far:

i = InStr(frmStoreData.txtAddUnitNos, "Maj")
If i < 1 Then
MsgBox ("Major must be the first item listed")
Good = False
End If

i = InStr(frmStoreData.txtAddUnitNos, "Anc")
If i < 1 Then
MsgBox ("Anchor must be the first item listed")
Good = False
End If

i = InStr(frmStoreData.txtAddUnitNos, "Pad")
If i < 1 Then
MsgBox ("Pad must be the first item listed")
Good = False
End If

i = InStr(frmStoreData.txtAddUnitNos, "Ret")
If i < 1 Then
MsgBox ("Retail must be the first item listed")
Good = False
End If

How would I check the spelling for just that portion of the string?

Thanks for your help.
