Thanks for your response, the question is that;

I am trying to use a textbox to accept two different value format such as "1xxx-xxxxx" and "1xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" the code is accepting "1xxx-xxxxx" format already I need to include the second format.

I was the using VB6 because the program was written originally in VB6 I am just modifying it to allow integration with newer applications.
Thanks
