[RESOLVED] String Search with Spaces

Hey Everyone,

I'm searching a table for the string
"Top Box".
The record in my table is
"1/2 Top Box"
However, when I loop through the records in my table it doesn't find the record. Here's my code.

Code:

---

ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Top Box")) > 0 Then
                WhiteText = QOH
                MsgBox Box

---

And ideas how I should go about searching for the string?

Make sure your code is reaching the statement and that Box variable has the record value. The code as it stands is good and should work. Use a breakpoint and watch the value of Box at that point.

Thanks for the reply Kaliman.

This is my full code.

Code:

---

Dim Colors As Recordset

Set dabs = CurrentDb
Set Colors = dabs.OpenRecordset("DPBoxesTrays")

With Colors
.MoveFirst
    Do Until .EOF
        Box = !Supply
        QOH = !QOH
        If InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Planting Box")) > 0 Then
            RedText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Lid")) > 0 Then
                BlueText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Top")) > 0 Then
                YellowText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Bottom")) > 0 Then
                PinkText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Spaces")) > 0 Then
                PurpleText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Top Bottom")) > 0 Then
                PlaiText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Top Box")) > 0 Then
                WhiteText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Coin")) > 0 Then
                BlackText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Ear")) > 0 Then
                EarText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Large")) > 0 Then
                LargeText = QOH
               
        End If
        .MoveNext
    Loop
End With

The first "Planting Box" works, however, "Top Bottom" and "Top Box" Do not display anything. Is it because my record has integers in it?

I found my very simple, yet very trouble some mistake.
My code was reading some of the strings as the same which was correct. I just had the same words in a few of my records.
Thanks for letting me know it was right though, it led me in the correct direction!

Dim Colors As Recordset

Set dabs = CurrentDb
Set Colors = dabs.OpenRecordset("DPBoxesTrays")

With Colors
.MoveFirst
    Do Until .EOF
        Box = !Supply
        QOH = !QOH
        If InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Planting Box")) > 0 Then
            RedText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Lid")) > 0 Then
                BlueText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Top")) = 1 Then
                YellowText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Bottom")) = 1 Then
                PinkText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Spaces")) > 0 Then
                PurpleText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Top Box")) > 1 Then
                PlaiText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Bottom Box")) > 1 Then
                ShootText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Coin")) > 0 Then
                BlackText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Ear")) > 0 Then
                EarText = QOH
        ElseIf InStr(UCase(Box), UCase("Large")) > 0 Then
                LargeText = QOH
               
        End If
        .MoveNext
    Loop
