Typing error monitor

G'day,
The basics:
I want to spell out a string (say "myword") with
for t = 1 to Len(myword)
Letter = mid(myword,t,1)

I now want to compare this Letter with a character typed in a TextBox and if correct move on to character 2 and so on and type the whole word.
How can I do this please?
Thank you, Dan

Try this,

I just developed for you, it is working for me. If it does not work for you, tell me i will mail you the project.

My email id is n_narayanan@yahoo.com

Option Explicit
Dim OrigMsg As String
Dim cnt As Integer
Private Sub Form_Load()
cnt = 1
OrigMsg = "myword"
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 8 Then 'backspace
cnt = cnt - 1
If cnt < 0 Then
cnt = 1
End If
Exit Sub
End If

If Mid(OrigMsg, cnt, 1) = Chr(KeyAscii) Then
cnt = cnt + 1
Exit Sub
Else
KeyAscii = 0
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub

Cheers

Narayanan

Hi,
Both hiranmaya and narayanan have solved my question.
I am inclined to favour narayanan's answer but have no reason to reject hiranmaya's and therefore accept it.
I am posing a more general question related to this question.
Thank you both hiranmaya and narayanan for your input

You are right moondancer, under the circumstances I should have split the points.
I wish to make amends by granting Naraynan 100 points also.
Thanks Narayanan.
Cheers, Dan
