Andy,
I jumped the gun a little too quickly. Neither yours nor Ben's works. Your
code worked fine when I was just typing in numbers for a quick test.
Once I started testing with actual VIN numbers it failed. It isn't counting
the letters in the total count. So 12345678901234567 succeeds but
1M345678901234567 fails.
Any suggestions?
Rick
