It needs to be text because there are often leading zeros. >> To check variable vUserInput: IF vUserInput = (SKEEP(.vUserInput, '0123456789')) THEN PAUSE 2 USING 'Good User!' ELSE PAUSE 2 USING 'Naughty, Naughty User!' ENDIF You might also want to investigate format masking on the input DIALOG statement to stop the unwanted characters from even being entered. -- Larry
