Problem I have a regex question for validation rule I have

I am trying to check to see if a field has only numbers in it. It can also be left blank. The regex formula that I have written accepts both letters and numbers and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I am new to regex so please be kind.

The validation rule is:
AND( 
ISBLANK(Checking_Account_Number__c), 
NOT (REGEX(Checking_Account_Number__c, "(//[0-9]+)")) 
)

Thanks for any help.

Hi Larry,

Use below validation instead.
NOT (REGEX(Checking_Account_Number__c, "^[0-9]*$"))

Mark this as an answer if this solves your problem.

Thanks Lalit for replying so quickly. I tried your formula and I still get the same problem. It is still accepting letters when it should only accept numbers.

Can you confirm if you are using below formula
NOT (REGEX(Checking_Account_Number__c, "^[0-9]*$"))

and not 
AND( ISBLANK(Checking_Account_Number__c) , NOT (REGEX(Checking_Account_Number__c, "^[0-9]*$")))

Lalit,
Thanks for your help. I did have the ISBLANK in there. That fixed it.

Hi Larry,
Regex you wrote in your description seems correct except one thing i.e, '//'. So just remove it 
AND( 
ISBLANK(Checking_Account_Number__c), 
NOT (REGEX(Checking_Account_Number__c, "([0-9]+)")) 
)
Thanks
