Searching for strings within a record

Hi there, im fairly new to programming, let alone visual basic itself, and ive run into a spot of trouble with one of my programs.

I'm trying to make a car filing systems of sorts where a user can enter details of cars to be stored to a file as records. These records can then be searched by make and model for matching records which will then be displayed in a list box. Problem is that it doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Here is the relevant section of code:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Type CarDetails
RegNumber As String * 8
make As String * 15
model As String * 10
YearofManufacture As Integer
price As Currency
End Type

Dim NumberOfRecords As Integer
Dim Filename As String




Private Sub cmdSearchMakeModel_Click()
Dim counter As Integer
Dim car As CarDetails
Dim years As String
Dim price As String
Dim make As String
Dim model As String


lstSearchResults.Clear

Filename = txtFilename.Text 'get file pathway

Open Filename For Random As #1 Len = Len(car)
NumberOfRecords = LOF(1) / Len(car) ' find number of records in file

For counter = 1 To NumberOfRecords 'loop for all records
    Get #1, counter, car
    model = car.model
    make = car.make
   
    If model = txtSearchModel.Text And make = txtSearchMake.Text Then  'search each model to see if the search criteria matches up, and if it does..
                years = car.YearofManufacture
        price = Format(car.price, "Currency")
        datatodisplay = car.RegNumber & " " & car.make & " " & car.model & " " & years & " " & prices
        lstSearchResults.AddItem datatodisplay 'add the record's details to the list
    End If
Next counter
Close #1

Knowing me its probably just some silly little typing error, but any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know what i'm doing wrong here?

You are doing a binary compare... check the value in file and textbox, are they the same case? Try using StrComp().
