SUM: MI-L Testing to ensure a string is numeric

[Tim.Nuteson]

Thanks to all who responded to my question:  How can I ensure that a
value entered into an EditText control of a MB dialog is numeric?  The
simplest solution was offered by Michael Taylor, Martin Highham, and
Robert Crossley:

If str$(val(teststring)) = teststring then
  'numeric
Else
  'not
End If

Thanks again,

Tim Nuteson

Would that algorithm return the correct result if you fed it a numeric 
string like '0023456', or are numbers with leading zeros not going to be 
encountered?
