I'm not sure about your last question, but have you checked that it is an empty string and doesn't contain a white space char?

It has worked in other pieces of code. I could understand it if the variable had data in it but in an instance where we have a new registrant SESSION.User.INSTITUT is set to "" Is the very fact that I have a value= statement bypassing the required statement?
