TIA:

When running through code in Step Mode when I put my cursor over a variable
or item property, I see a caption with the current value. Can I really trust
that this is the exact value (case sensistive text) that would need to be in
code to match an eqaulity statement ie if I see a value of then
for my If to be true I would need If reciepient.address =
Then...

The issue is the caption in Step Mode shows a value in all CAPS but the data
itself is mixed upper and lower case. I know my code is case sensitive to
the "actual" email address used in the email To: field.

I would hope a way around is to set a variable for email address and LCase
the data...

Thanks for any help,

Joel

Yes, you can trust the Debugger. At least I could always do that. As for
e-mail addresses: They aren't case sensitive and so your code should treat
them, you never know what a user enters. Due to that for comparing values I
always convert them with LCASE.

Hello Michael:

FYI, I found the value of Recipient.Addess to definetly to be case sensitive.

Also I used the Watch window to show me the value of the Recipient.Address
and upon copy and paste the value into code all worked fine. The data in
the caption when I looked at values in Step Mode showed all CAPS which in not
how the watch window showed the data and being case sensitive made the
difference.

Thanks,
Joel

Joel, there's a small but important difference: e-mail adresses aren't
case-sensitive but string comparisons are. VB(A) doesn't know the meaning of
a string, it can't determine whether a string is an e-mail address or
something else.

The user enters the e-mail address, either in an e-mail or a contact. And
you never know if the address is entered in lower cases or not, because for
the user (and for delivering e-mails) it makes no difference. That is, the
same user can enter the same address once in lower cases and once in upper
ones. You code must recognize both as equal adresses, so for being sure
convert them all either in lower or upper cases.

Hello Michael:

Thanks so much for the clarification, I do understand what you are saying.
