Making the code compare strings case sensitive??

I have used this before but I cant remember exactly how I implement it...To make vb compare everything case sensitively.. For example

If "kewl" = "Kewl" then
msgbox "This wouldnt fire becuase they dont match in case."
end if

and using Lcase is not an option because im working on a code compiler and its case sensitive using same keys for same operation..For example in perl

/u

and

/U

are two different things...

I thought it was something you put at the very top of your code like

Option Case Sensitive..But that doesnt work..I know its one of those Option things tho..

[pro2]

this is the way:
after = Lcase( before ) 'Put before in LowerCase
after = Ucase( before ) 'Put before in UpperCase

no I know about that already..I cant use that option because it wont work if you think about it. Plus that would be soooo slow on a 250 keyword list. that gets fired every few seconds..right now its fast very fast..

[pro2]

you canot do that ?? :
For CURRENTWORD = 0 to 250
if Lcase(word1) = Lcase(word2) then
'Welldone
else
'WORNG !!!!!
end if
next CURRENTWORD
'FINISH

No I cant do that because I dont know if the word is going to be uppercase or lowercase...Also the word being compared is pulled out of a textfile and it needs to get compared against itself..

use Option Compare Text
or is it Option Text Compare
or

'StrComp function returns a number...0 if matched, 1 if false
'compare strings to see if you have a matching string or not
'if you use 1 as the comparison factor it 
'forces a text comparison

	strMyCompare = StrComp(string1, string2, 1) 'comparison function
     
	If StrMyComp = 0 then  'true match          
     		'do bla bla bla because string1 = string2		'do bla bla bla
	
'or...	if false then
	
	Else
		'do bla bla bla  because txtOne <> textTwo.text
	End If
