    don't worry i've figured it out

    Code:
    Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox CheckNumber("01243")
End Sub
Function CheckNumber(strString As String) As Boolean
Dim myAsc As Integer
myAsc = Asc(strString)
If myAsc >= 48 And myAsc <= 57 Then
CheckNumber = True
Else
CheckNumber = False
End If
End Function

    Thumbs up

    How about

    Code:
    If IsNumeric(Left$(My_String,1)) = True Then
   'It's numeric !
Else
   ' It's Not !
End If
