parse a string and do a simple comparison

[ryguy7272]

I am trying to parse a string and do a simple comparison, using VBA.

Here’s my VBA:
(Trim(Mid(imgElement.Title, Search(":", imgElement.Title) + 2, 999)))
<> username

Here is a sample of the imgElement.Title:
EX-0010083GG05436.xls Checked Out To: Goldsmith, Teddy [HYH]


Username comes from Windows_NT signon.

I keep getting an error that reads ‘Sub or function not defined’ and
Search (in my code above) is highlighted. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Search is not a VBA function; it is a worksheet function.

Take a look at Instr for a similar VBA function (or use
worksheetfunction.Search)

Thanks Ron!!
