I'm trying to compare two pieces of text. If the cases are different, I want
it to be the same as if the text were different. I tried doing a binary
compare, but it's not working.
Does anyone have any suggestions? My code is below.
Thanks in Advanced,
Elena

I have no clue where you are comparing and I can not know what the values of
the variables are. So, it's impossible to say from here.
Armin
ok, let me change the code a little.
If strChange = "userPass" = True Then
msgbox("True.")
Else
msgbox("False.")
End if
let's pretend that strChange = USERPASS
So, i'm comparing USERPASS to userPass. The message box that pops up should
say "False." Unfortunately, it doesn't. It says true. So, I'd like to know
how to compare these two things and when the case is different that it reads
it as false.

You need to remove the part "= True" in your If statement, otherwise it
always returns true (because you intentionally set it to True).
So this should work as you expect:
If strChange = "userPass" Then
msgbox("True.")
Else
msgbox("False.")
End if
Hope this helps.

I tried it and it says "False.":
Dim strChange As String = "USERPASS"
If strChange = "userPass" = True Then
MsgBox("True.")
Else
MsgBox("False.")
End If
The "= True" is not necessary but it doesn't change anything in this case.
It's like saying "if it is true that it is true then".

Ok, I removed the = True, but it's still not working. Any other suggestions?

Did you try 'Option Compare Binary', 'StrCmp'/'String.Compare'?

It's set to Option Compar Binary, but I have not used the string.compare.
Let me see if I can figure out that code.
Thanks,

Elena,
Can you make a simple project with only those simple statements in the form
load event of it.
Than if it does not work, show it to us

I figured out the problem. The binary compare works. You were right, Armin.
Yet, now I need to do a string comparison of the same two variables. Is it
possible to do a string and binary compare in the same form? If so, how do i
differentiate the two?
Thanks in Advance,
Elena

Sorry, I don't understand. You mean Option Compare Text and Option Comapre
Binary within the same file? I don't know, I've never used Option Compare
Text.
