Hi crmpicco,

Yes, your syntax is wrong, try this

Sub LikeItOrNot()
Dim sRange
sRange = "A1"
If Not Trim(Range(sRange).Text) Like "Page" Then
MsgBox "Not Page"
Else
MsgBox "Page"
End If
End Sub
Note that while 'like' can be used as shown above for an exact match, the 'like' atatement is usually used with a wild-card character to find similar words E.G. "*Page" will give "Front Page", "Last Page",...etc. OR, "Page*" will give "Page one", Page two", etc.

HTH,
John
