[AccessD] instr() - Need an exact match

Oops,
That should read:
StrComp(Mid([StringToSearch],InStr([StringToSearch],
[SearchFor]),Len([SearchFor])),[SearchFor])

But you get the idea...

How about:

StrComp(Mid(InStr([StringToSearch],
[SearchFor]),Len([SearchFor])),[SearchFor])

Here is a better example. In this case both function return a 1


StrComp("SecGrp_Eng_Super, secGrp_Admin", "SecGrp_Eng_Super")


StrComp("SecGrp_Eng_Super, secGrp_Admin", "SecGrp_Eng")

The first one is an exact match, the second a partial match. I want to
distinguish between the two.

I'm not clear on why InStr() does not suit your purpose.

InStr("a_Group,b_Group,c_Group","c_Group") will return a non-zero value
(17), meaning that "c_Group" was found in the first string. Now if you want
an exact match that takes the case into account you can use...

InStr(1,"a_Group,b_Group,c_Group","c_group",vbBinaryCompare)  ' note, must
supply the start position - 1

which will return zero as "c_group" is not found, whereas

InStr(1,"a_Group,b_Group,c_Group","c_Group",vbBinaryCompare)

returns 17.
