[2005] look up button (reading text file)

[rollntider]

I am trying to make it read from the text file. the items from the text should be in an array. Then when the user types in the Abbreviation text box 2 letters it should try to find the state. Same for the State box to find the abbreviation. When I compile it, it tells me I need to declare "NEW" in my if statement

If .stateText.Text.ToUpper.Trim = USstate(indexInteger).stateNameString.ToUpper.Trim Then

full sub below

Thanks for any comment or suggestions in advance
