Why is this true: chr(254) = "th"

This evaluates to true, why?

chr(254) = "th"

Console.WriteLi ne(Chr(254) = "th") displays False for me.

Zorpie,
I suspect because under Windows Control Panel you have a region selected
where the ANSI code page maps Chr(254) to a character that maps to th. For
example in the US the code page is normally "Western European (Windows)",
which causes Chr(254) maps to the Latin Small Letter Thorn þ, If you have
Option Compare Text, "þ" = "th", while if you have Option Compare Binary "þ"
<> "th".

What does the following print?

Debug.WriteLine (AscW(Chr(254)) , "254")

For characters over 127, I normally use the Unicode value & ChrW rather then
Chr which uses your Windows ANSI code page value.

Hope this helps
Jay

If I submit my for using a get action the resulting page loads . If I use a post action I get an error page saying "The page cannot be found". I am calling the originating page!!!

Hi guys, I have a user who wants to have a report that shows only the 10th value recorded by his equipment. (i.e. His equipment records temperature every 30 seconds, but he only wants to view the data at every 5 minutes.) I proposed using the "mod" function in a WHERE statement on the seconds "datepart" to test if each datapoint is an interval of 5 minutes from the starting number.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
