String Manipulation...
I need to create a function that will take a string from and input box (say a first name), read it one character at a time and redisplay it to the user. This is a school project so I can do this however I chose. My thought was to have a user input his name, the function would count the characters in the string, and redisplay it in a label box. I need help creating this function. I toyed around with the
Len(), and Mid() but I am lost.
Len(), and Mid() but I am lost.

we can't do your homework for you, however, if you post what you have so far, i'm sure we can help you towards a solution

bobbit31 - after rereading my post I guess that is how I came across...sorry. I just need a some guideness. Here is what I have:
Dim strFirst As String
Dim strLast As String
Dim strFull As String
'Get the first name for the textbox
strFirst = txtFname.Text
'Get the last name from another textbox
strLast = txtLname.Text
'Concatenate the first and last name, putting
'a space character between them.
strFull = strFirst & " " & strLast
'Display the Full Name
lblResult.Caption = strFull
Dim szText As String
Dim nStartingFrom As Integer
Dim nNumChars As Integer
'-- Assign szText
szText = txtFname.Text
'-- Set the starting position
nStartingFrom = 1
'-- Set the number of characters
nNumChars = 1
'-- Print the partial string
Print Mid$(szText, nStartingFrom, nNumChars)
I imagine I need some sort of counter to keep track of how many characters in the string correct? Thanks.

Do you mean something like this:
Dim MyValue As String
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default, 100, 100)
Dim TempChar As String
Dim CountChar As Integer
For I = 1 To Len(MyValue)
CountChar = CountChar + 1
TempChar = TempChar + Mid(MyValue, I, 1)
Next I
Label1.Caption = TempChar
Label2.Caption = CountChar
Dim MyValue As String
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default, 100, 100)
Dim TempChar As String
Dim CountChar As Integer
For I = 1 To Len(MyValue)
CountChar = CountChar + 1
TempChar = TempChar + Mid(MyValue, I, 1)
Next I
Label1.Caption = TempChar
Label2.Caption = CountChar
Short of doing your project for you, here's an example of how to use a FOR loop to display the string one character at a time. This will display the results to a text box called Text1.
e.g.
Private Sub ShowResults(sINPUT As String)
For i = 1 To Len(sINPUT)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & Mid(sINPUT, i, 1)
Next i
End Sub
e.g.
Private Sub ShowResults(sINPUT As String)
For i = 1 To Len(sINPUT)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & Mid(sINPUT, i, 1)
Next i
End Sub

no, that's what the Len function is for
msgbox Len(szText)
no, that's what the Len function is for
msgbox Len(szText)

Thunder27 - Thanks! I guess I was closer than I thought.
