Val is returning 0, which has a length of 1. Drew -----Original Message----- From: Susan Harkins [mailto:ssharkins at setel.com] Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 12:46 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Interesting behavior with Val() I've read Help looking for an explanation for what I'm about to say, but haven't found one. The following expression returns 1 if value has no numeric digits: Len(Val(value)) I expected the expression to return 0. You can test this on the Employees table in Northwind -- there are two records where the Address value is alpha text, with no numeric digits at the beginning of the value. The above expression, against those two values, returns 1. What am I missing?
