Hi Chaim.

To take the centre 10 characters you could do something like this -
lcBarCode = Subs(lcEnteredCode, (Len(lcEnteredCode) - 10) / 2 + 1, 10)
As for checking if the characters that you are throwing away are all not digits you could use -
llNonDigits = (Len(lcEnteredCode) - 10 == Len(ChrTran(Stuff(lcEnteredCode, (Len(lcEnteredCode) - 10) / 2 + 1, 10, ""), "0123456789", "")))

I hope that helps.
