Problem with IF statement

[peggjones]

Can anyone explain this situation to me?

xyz = Cursor1.GetString("Date")
If Cursor1.GetString("Date") = date2 Then

Both xyz and date2 = " 05/30/2013" but the test is never fulfilled.

Is it possible that there is something with the debugger and that it is not showing the true contents of the fields?

Many Thanks

Make sure that there aren't any spaces in the strings.

If Cursor1.GetString("Date").Trim = date2.Trim Then

Thanks. That's sorted it.
