It turns out that you are doing nothing wrong (apart from not making use of
the Help file g). It is a difference between the use of a Wildcard Find
and the use of the Like function.

The following is from the Visual Basic Help file:

Quote
Note To match the special characters left bracket ([), question mark (?),
number sign (#), and asterisk (*), enclose them in brackets. The right
bracket (]) can't be used within a group to match itself, but it can be used
outside a group as an individual character.

OK. I have read both articles. Based on that, it seems to me that the
expression "[A-Za-z0-9[\]]" ought to find all of the letters and
numbers plus the square brackets ([]) in a Like comparison.

But it doesn't match any characters at all.

However, if I delete the "\]", leaving "[A-Za-z0-9[]", then it will
match all of the letters and numbers plus "[".

What am I doing wrong?
