InStr() return values

[pdbowling]

Hi all,
My help files are not working for some reason so until I get them reinstalled...

Would someone please let me know what the return values are for the instr() function are.

IE. If the search string is not found, what does the function return. If it is found, what does it return from the function (true or the position? or somethig else?)

Thanks everyone. I know this is elementary, but my help files aren't working.
PB

Not found = 0
Found = position
