Hi Marty Yes, Modulus 10 verification is widely used. Another example is the European unique product numbers EAN-8 and EAN-13 which I understand now is to be implemented in the US as well. Usually it is presented as a barcode too. Another check is the Modulus 9710 verification. Much more fun, and used for the international exchange of bank accounts called IBAN. /gustav >>> martyconnelly at shaw.ca 27-08-2005 07:19 >>> Just as a matter of interest this works to verify last digit on Canadian SIN Social Insurance number Just pass first 8 digits in string ModulusAppend(lSIN, 10) and you get 9'th check digit appended. You could use for verifying ISBN numbers but need to handle additional appending of -X in method Gustav Brock wrote: >Hi Pedro > >Looks like a Modulus 10 check digit calculation.
