I have text boxes that contain long two or three lines of text.
When I do a search for a string (Word or phrase) I only whant to display the first sentence that contains the string.
Does anyone know the VBA statement that will meet this requirement?

Hi,
Code: 
msgbox Split(txtBox.Text,".")(0)
will display the first sentence in a txtBox object.

Skip,
