Value in recordset changes 2 variables Help

[ferky]

I have this code below when I asign strOldTkinit = strNewTkinit and
then read the new value for the strNewTkinit from the recordset the
strOldTkinit changes the value also. So when I run my comparison the
values is always equal even though I read a new value from the
recordset. Please help.

Within all of the code you posted, the only value ever assigned
to strNewTkinit is "", so it seems like you haven't shown us the
important code.

However, your symptom sounds like strNewTkinit is being set to the
reference to an Object. In that case, setting strOldTkinit will
set that variable to refer to the *same Object*, so changing the
attributes of either one is seen in both. What to do to fix that
depends on what sort of Object is involved.
