And where is the 'set step on'? Before the 'Do Case' or within the 'CASE ALLTRIM(This.parent.parent.Page1.txt_UserName1.Value) NOT EQUAL TO ALLTRIM(This.parent.parent.Page1.txt_UserName2.Value)'?

And this code is in the Click method of the Validation button, yes?

The reason I'm trying to nail this down is that the right hand side of the comparison drives the comparison. Try this from your command window

  s = 'this'
  y = ''

  ?s = y  returns .T.
  ?s <> y returns .F.

Better would be to have your first CASE statement something like

CASE empty(ALLTRIM(This.parent.parent.Page1.txt_UserName1.Value)) or 
  empty (CASE ALLTRIM(This.parent.parent.Page1.txt_UserName2.Value))
  =MESSAGEBOX("UserName cannot be empty. Please enter UserName", 16)

then check for equality.

>>Greetings all,
>>
>>I am running a validation code that checks user name text box value to see if it matches their double-entry value. The text boxes are on Page 1 of 3 pageframe. Screen syntax goes as:
>>
>>Step 2. Enter your User Name , step 2a. Re-enter your user name
>>
>>The Validation button sits on page 3 of the pageframe. Here's the validation code:
>>Do Case
>> CASE ALLTRIM(This.parent.parent.Page1.txt_UserName1.Value) NOT EQUAL TO ALLTRIM(This.parent.parent.Page1.txt_UserName2.Value)
>>...notify user that the entries do not match
>> EndCase
>>
>>Testing scenario: When I enter a user name is UserName1 text box, and leave Username2 textbox empty, the validation code DOES NOT fire off. I have tried use both NOT EQUAL TO operator(s)

>>Any ideas ?
