Outlook 2003 SP3

Hi,

I'm trying to find * and ? in the string. Do I have to do two separate if

statements, or can I use some kind of OR statement? This isn't working:

If Instr(1, Item.UserProperties("JobName"), "*" or "?", vbTextCompare) > 0

Then

MsgBox "Sorry, you cannot use the * or ? character"

Exit Sub

end if

Thanks,

Joel

x = "Joe Blow"

? (ubound(split(x,"*")) or ubound(split(x,"?"))) > 0 'False

x = "Joe*Blow"

? (ubound(split(x,"*")) or ubound(split(x,"?"))) > 0 'True

x = "Joe Blow?"

? (ubound(split(x,"*")) or ubound(split(x,"?"))) > 0 'True

x = "Joe*Blow?"

? (ubound(split(x,"*")) or ubound(split(x,"?"))) > 0 'True

Or you could use Instr() but 2 separate comparisons as well.
