I figured it out!!


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim xnum As String
Dim mylen As Long
Dim Newlen As Long
Dim NewPnum As String
Dim OldPnum As String

OldPnum = Text1.Text

xnum = Right(OldPnum, 1)
If xnum = "X" Then
mylen = Len(OldPnum)
Newlen = mylen - 1
NewPnum = Left(OldPnum, Newlen)
Text1.Text = NewPnum
End If

End Sub


>I am trying to remove the letter X from a string that sometimes will appear in a text box. I am programming an automation app for a factory that sometimes has the letter X at the end of a part number. I want to strip the X off before I evaluate the part number to a database.

>Here is what I have tried. However, the result is only the letter X, which is what I want to get rid of. Any suggestions for this...?
