Hi Jim,

I already tried to explain the actual problem, perhaps you misunderstood me.
In a textbox a user enters a value. It's a character type. Now, how can you figure out the actual type of value (what user keeps in mind entering it), e.g.
lcValue="10/12/1994" (User meant Date, but type(lcValue)="N" and type("lcValue")="C")?

TIA
