Elliot,
>>"001948F" vs "001948F"
this seems to be very weird. both values have a "F" at the end. Surely
that's seen as a string in both cases?
there must be something else going on here...perhaps an internal
reserved format like {ts 'whatever'} or a hex value or something? worth
investigating, methinks (hard to find "gotcha" pending...)

"001948F" vs "001948F"
The equality check is obviously trying to convert to number because the
strings look like numbers. The simple fix was to add the same char to
the
beginning of each value ie.
"_" & qCheck.COURSECRICOSCDE neq "_" & arguments.COURSECRICOSCDE
all happy. I was just curious that I have never struck this before.
