Problem comparing Session to QueryString 1

[ecobb]

I have a simple IF statement that is supposed to compare a session variable to a querystring, but it doesn't seem to be working. If I write the vars just before the comparison, the are identical but the IF statement never returns true.

	response.write Session("Cal_UserID") '-Returns 12345'
	response.write Request.QueryString("schoolid") '-Returns 12345'
    If Session("Cal_UserID") = Request.QueryString("schoolid") then...

Since this is my first ASP project, I'm sure there's something I'm overlooking. Any ideas?

Hope This Helps!

Hi

Try this

If trim(Session("Cal_UserID")) = trim(Request.QueryString("schoolid")) then...

It could be that one of the values as leading or trailing blanks.
