To make it more confusing and to be before Herfried (which is already for
years answering this question),

You would define was is a number, if you mean it are only characters 0 to 9,
then IsNumeric is not what you want, because it accept also numbers with
exponents and hex numbers.

Yes, you are correct. Knowing the valid data that IsNumeric will classify
as a valid number has kept me away from this function, except for the
simplest of number validation (works great if the data is only 1 char).

Thanks for your input! Saga
