>Exact if OFF, and even if it wasn't the comparison is exact, character for character and in lenghth. Any other ideas??
Native field type is character right? Your not converting from numberic to character by any chance? What happens when you issue the following from command window...
? tablename.fieldname = "value here"
Do you get a .T. that way?
