Comparing string values

[pilg]

Hi,

I need to compare two string values.

The way I am doing this at the moment is:

session("graph&quot = Request.form.item("graph&quot
graph = session("graph&quot
session("employee&quot = Request.form.item("staff&quot
staff = session ("employee&quot
Team = SPECS Team

If staff = Team then

set objconnteam = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection&quot

Objconnteam.Open "FILEDSN=SPECSFeedback;"

Set objRSteam = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.recordset&quot


.... and so on.

What I actually do is read in a value recieved from the previous form into the variable team I then need to perform an IF on this string i.e. if it is = to SPECS Team then perform the IF if not then continue.

Am I doing this correctly?

It's just my page will not display and I can't see any problems.

Hope you can help.

Cheers,

Pilg.

I would add in some response.write statements to verify that the values you are expecting to show up are indeed there. For example:

response.write request.form.item(&quot;graph&quot & &quot; is graph<br>&quot;
response.write request.form.item(&quot;staff&quot & &quot; is staff<br>&quot;

and then write the rest of your code as you've done in order to make sure that you are getting the values you're expecting. Presumably these are both strings, else if they are different variable types you would need to declare these prior to comparison.
