Re: [MS_AccessPros] How to get the first letter of an inputBox

 

Hi Kevin,

it is good to save the value returned by InputBox to a string and test to determine what to do

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Dim sInput As String _
      , sValue as string

    sInput = InputBox("MyMessage")

   If sInput <> "" Then 'user didn't Cancel
     'get first character
      sValue = left(sInput,1)
   End If
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WHERE:
    sValue is the first character

have an awesome day,
crystal

Hi Kevin
The following code shows the two first letters of LBNR, which has the format AB1234:
Me.Image12.Picture = strSAMLINGdrev & Left([LBNR], 2) & "\" & [LBNR] & ".jpg"
Where strSAMLINGdrev is as path so the picture shown will be e.g. D:\RODS\SAMLING\AB\AB1234.jpg
Does it work for you?

Dear All,
How do we get the first letter of an inputbox? For example, if I type "a123", how the I get the "a"? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Kevin
