This isn't completely bulletproof, unless 1 is right justfied by the edit
Note the width of the comparison is 20 characters wide. That's the trick.

@WLF1 If: 1 eq "705-7v9             "               
      Then: beep; msgbox "P/N 705-7v9 needs Mod kit 34-S!"

I'd also argue that this routine should
be comparing to values in another table, rather than
being hard coded into your processing table.
