IsAlpha etc

Probably stuff I don't need... unless you want to throw in 40 virgins, then I'd be happy to convert to IsNum. If this offended anybody, IsTooBad.

I do like the IsNum one. Val by itself is insufficient, so the function must check each character of the string. It is cool that val() can detect some, like &H75, which returns 117 if I remember correctly.

   The IsNum one is well optimized and one I use quite a bit,  It's handy !    The other one's I just threw together on the Spot to show Phil how it could be done.
I knew right away they aren't well optimized. !     I typically don't care much about Is Upper or Is Lower.    If I'm doing a comparison that needs to account for case
I usually force the case with UCASE before doing a comparison !

  I could optimize it a little by using _orelse instead of or in few of those functions.

Thanks both for that, but I already use similar constructs when I need them - and yes, I am aware of UCase$ and LCase$, and use these regularly.
What I meant was, could those functions be implemented as a keyword. I know, that's lazy, but if it speeds up or simplifies coding I think it would be worthwhile.
