Friedrich,

That's what my screen shot shows too.
However, the help file on the IF statement has more options.

Your screen shot shows the "Contains Any Letters In/Contains Letters
Not In" option, but it doesn't have the "Contains, Does Not
Contain-The value of the variable must (or must not) contain the text
given in the Value field. " option which is listed in the help file.

(see attached screenshot for help section).
I was hoping to use the CONTAINS option to search for a string, rather
than "CONTAINS ANY LETTERS".
