Answer 1

If speed is an issue, this will run a bit faster than Robs (noi Rob):

Public Sub Example()
    Const myString As String = "ololo123"
    Dim position As Long
    position = GetFirstNumeric(myString)
    If position > 0 Then
        MsgBox "Found numeric at postion " & position & "."
    Else
        MsgBox "Numeric not found."
    End If
End Sub

Public Function GetFirstNumeric(ByVal value As String) As Long
    Dim i As Long
    Dim bytValue() As Byte
    Dim lngRtnVal As Long
    bytValue = value
    For i = 0 To UBound(bytValue) Step 2
        Select Case bytValue(i)
            Case vbKey0 To vbKey9
                If bytValue(i + 1) = 0 Then
                    lngRtnVal = (i \ 2) + 1
                    Exit For
                End If
        End Select
    Next
    GetFirstNumeric = lngRtnVal
End Function
