HI Again to all

Hi
i am in need of telling my app that when it finds the criteria it is looking for that ineed not to patch and if not it does need to patch but my if statement below seems to be giving me odd results, please could someone have a look and tell me where they think the problem might be
Private Sub Command2_Click()
rtfRichTextBox1.Find ("" & Text2 & "")
If rtfRichTextBox1.Find("" & Text2 & "") = True Then
MsgBox "Fully Patched"
Else
MsgBox "Need To Patch"
End If
End Sub
Many Thanks
Rob

Rob,
You should only call the search once, the If..Endif is the correct place.
Also, the return value by the function is the starting position of the found text (if successful) or -1 if not.
-1 in VB equates to true so try testing for;
If rtfRichTextBox1.Find("" & Text2 & "") >-1 Then
Steve.
