   Think about what this If-Then statement does... yes, if firstLetter is any   
   letter other than "F" or "P", then firstLetter meets your test BUT because   
   you used OR... if firstLetter is an "F" then it is not a "P"; and if it is a   
   "P", then it is not an "F"... these will also meet your test.   
      
   For future reference...   
      
   Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get   
   a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003, VB2005 and VB Express which have   
   dropped .NET from their names) questions here, you should ask them in   
   newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming (the languages are   
   different enough to warrant separate newsgroup support). Look for newsgroups   
   with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.   
      
   For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups for Visual Basic .NET   
   related questions...   
      
      microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb   
      microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade   
      microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls   
      microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data   
      
   And these for more general .NET questions   
      
      microsoft.public.dotnet.general   
      microsoft.public.vsnet.general   
      
   Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields" from   
   the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above ones   
   should get you started.
