No, Trim is not a member of Char.

Trim applies to Strings - it removes unwanted leading and trailing characters. Char is a fixed size - one character - so it cannot be trimmed.

Why is your account number a Char? if you suspect it may have leading or trailing spaces, the it should be a string. If it's a number, then it probably should be an Integer, which also does not need or support a Trim method.

in addition to OriginalGriff, I advice you to try to understand what an error means. It is not just a message, but it is a sentence with a meaning. If it says "Trim is not a member", then it means "Trim is not a member", therefore you cannot use it as if it is a member what you do in your code: "accountNumber(which is char).Trim". what you should do at this point:
1- open msdn and find out your subject in there, then see its properties, methods etc.
2- think of your aim again to see if your code matches your intention.

I think you are not using the Visual Studio IDE. I strongly advice to use it, because it has many advantages as in your case. here it is:

The error is quite clear. The char type does not have a property or method called Trim ...

A char represents a single Unicode character ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7sx7t66b.aspx[^] so there is no concept of "trimming" it

I suspect you meant to pass the parameter like this

ByVal accountnumber As String
