I'd like to come back and all your suggestions worked like a charm, but I
can't...
This is what I started out with:

	Var1 = request.form("Manager")
	Var2 = Managers.fields.item("RepID").value
			
	If Var1 = Var2 then
		Response.Write(" selected ")
	Else
		' values are not equal
	End If

Casting request.form("Manager") as anything gave me a type mismatch error

	CInt(request.form("Manager"))  --->  Type mismatch
	Trim   (both)	""		 --->  Test still failed; no err
	CLng 	 ""		""		 --->  Type mismatch
	CStr	 (both)	""		 --->  Test still failed; no err

This is really annoying me. The data type that the record set came from is
Int(4). Any other suggestions?
