InStr Question

Just curious on this:

private sub command1_click
if instr(text1, "test") then
    MsgBox"It's in"
end if

If i type in the text box, "testing" it returns true. Am I forgeting something.

Of course!!!
"test" is in fact part of "testing"
What´s the problem?

'to check for entire word
Private Sub command1_click()
  If Text1 Like "*testing" Then MsgBox "It's In"
End Sub

thanks HeSaid, I dont know what I was thinkin', brain lock. jp, what I was looking for was an occurence of test, the actual word, not testing. I just got a little confused
