The IsNumeric function should fill the bill...

Dim MyVar As Object
Dim MyCheck As Boolean
' ...
MyVar = "53" ' Assign value.
MyCheck = IsNumeric(MyVar) ' Returns True.
' ...
MyVar = "459.95" ' Assign value.
MyCheck = IsNumeric(MyVar) ' Returns True.
' ...
MyVar = "45 Help" ' Assign value.
MyCheck = IsNumeric(MyVar) ' Returns False.
