In the click event of a button in a form I have the following code. It started out performing a task but I have simplified it for debugging.


suspend
if nnn <> ndrop && both are string variables
Messagebox("it worked")
endif

At the moment of suspension, The value of nnn is 5035S and the value of ndrop is ""

The messagebox never appears, it is skipped over and later code is executed.

If I change the IF statement to if a=a it works fine.

Does anyone have and insight into my problem
