>>Me going potty or what? I've been importing a series of bus routes from an ACII text file. I noticed there were several input recs with the same Route ID, i.e. "1 ". Each route ID is forced into a 4-char var, lcRouteID. I wanted to catch each time I encountered one so I threw in the following code, to catch them in debug:

I think I did experiment with == last week when I was trying to trace this and the damn thing didn't halt at all. Trouble is, the import is so time consuming, made worse by having debug awake, that I'm loathe to go through it all again.

However, glad someone else finds this strange.r
