String Manipulation

I'm trying to use a string that I build at run time in the middle of a IF - Then statment. I think VB is looking for a boolean return. Can I make VB see the string figuratively?

hope this helps:

string = "rs.field(nfield) = """
If string then

you cant have more than 1 "=" character on any line. For obvious reasons.

In his case, the second "=" is enclosed in a String, so the compiler will not think of it as an operator.

Eugenious. If String Then will not work for a String. It needs to be numeric. Any non-zero value will execute the code in the If...Then statement and any Zero value will not execute the code (If it's a string then it will not execute the code either).

Since you are using a String, you should use something like this for you code.

Code:

---

If MyString = MyOtherString Then
