hey i had a look at that link it looks a bit complicated and it looks like it deals with nos..maybe it works with letters to..
I found another suggestion (repeating the process for all vowels):

MyString.Remove(CChar("a"), "")

MyString.Remove(CChar("a"), CChar(""))

but the error msg appeared:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in microsoft.visualbasic.dll

Additional information: Cast from string "a" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

then i tried this instead, it didnt like this at all

MyString.Remove("a", "")

hmm any suggestions ?
