? instr("enough tables and Chairs to seat 236", "chairs")

This returns 0 because I'm not using a capital "C" in chairs

Is there a command to cause Excel to be non case-specific ?

Thanks - Kirk

Try this:

instr(LCase("enough tables and Chairs to seat 236"), "chairs")

Hopes this heps.

Convert the text string and search string to the same case and then use Instr.

Lcase() for lower case
Ucase() for upper case

If this post helps click Yes
