>Some background: I have a table that is being generated on a daily basis. I need to run a few scans on the table to validate the data. One of the these checks involves making sure the social security numbers are ONLY numbers. If it does find a character in one of the fields, then I should get a message box alerting me of the error.

Hi,
I suppose your field is character data type.
You can use this:
if len(chrtran(SSN, '0123456789', ''))>0
wait window "SSN error" at 20,70
