how to strip characters ?
How do i fix the function below so it gets called only if there are vbCr or vbCrLf ?
Currently it gets called all the time...
Any suggestions...
Public Function removeChars(s As String) As String
Dim str As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To Len(s)
Select Case Mid(s, i, 1)
Case vbCr, vbLf
str = str & vbCrLf
Case Else
str = str & Mid(s, i, 1)
End Select
Next
removeChars = str
End Function
Private Sub STR_NOTES_BeforeUpdate(Can
Me.STR_NOTES = removeChars(Me.STR_NOTES)
'cleanit (Me.STR_NOTES)
End Sub

You might want to try to search for this character first vbCR or vbCRLF. Try using InStr function. It will return the position of the string found. If 0, then not found, else you've got it. When you've found the vbCR or vbCRLF character, then call the RemoveChars function.
Have a go at it.
