Hi,

The function is called 'Mid' in VB. If you are sure you input is a string you can use 'Mid$' which is faster.

------------------------------------------------
Dim MyString as string
Text1.text = "Culture"
MyString = Mid$(Text1.Text,3,4)
------------------------------------------------

Try Mid(Text1.text,3,4)

Look up in VBHelp for details, but first parameter is the string, second is start position and third is number of characters Let me know if this helps

A undocumented note/feature of the MID() function.

Not only can the MID() function be used on the right side of an assignment like

DIM sSource as String
Dim sPart as String

sSource = "Hello World"
sPart = MID(sSource,4,5)

but MID can be used on the left side of an assignment like so

DIM sSource as String

sSource = "Hello World"
MID(sSource,4,5) = "ABCDE"

the result of the above code leaves sSource with
HelABCDErld

Don't ask me....the programmer assigned to do the MID function just got ambitious.....and no it doesn't work with RIGHT() and LEFT().

SemperFi,
FYI
It's actually documented under Mid statement in MSDN/VbHelp as doing this Let me know if this helps
