Re: seacrching for a specified text from a string.
try this
dim s as string
dim l as long
s = "123"
l = instr(1,s,"2") 'should return 2 to l, the position where the char "2" occur
s = "123"
l = instr(1,s,"4") 'should return 0 to l, as no char "4" found in string s.

Re: seacrching for a specified text from a string.
Hello:
You can also do this: You can textbox and Richtextbox to find String.
RichTextBox2.UpTo (Text1.Text)
RichTextBox2.SetFocus
However, the cursor must before the String to be searched.
You can find more information about it on the Visual Basic 6:Black Book by Steven Holzner.
Good Luck
