    Try removing the parantheses from the Msgbox

    Sorry about other post, hit the send button before I was done. Removing the parantheses did not work. I need to remove this post, other one has more info of problem.

    Hello zplugger,

    It could be your system sees the Target in the InStr statement as an object and not a value. Try this change and see if anything changes.

    Hello
    The problem is still solved, just have another question. Is it possible to add the backslash symbol to the code too. I played around a little with no luck.

    Hello Z,

    Thanks again for all your help Leith, just wanted the msgbox to pop up if either forward & back slash symbol is used.

    Thanks again Leith, you give so much support to this site. I'm good at construction but excel is hard sometimes. I'm just amazed
    at what this program can do with the right codes. When time allows I spend hours just reading post to try and learn more.
