I just got the DBPro Demo to see if I want to upgrade from the original DB I bought and the following simple bit of code does not work:-

tx$ = "H"

Select tx$
Case "H"
Print "The value of tx$ is H"
endcase
Case Default
Print "Unable to determine value of tx$"
endcase
endselect

wait key

Obviously it should give the first message but instead it gives the default one, anyone got any ideas whats gone wrong here?

With a bit of experimenting I found that I can change the first case line to :-
Case left$("H",1)

and it works, which suggests the problem lies with putting string parameters directly in a case statement.

OK the last post was wrong too, it actually makes it give the first message with any value in tx$

The only way I have round this is to replace the code with IF`s (BLEUGH :-P)

I can confirm that it behaves this way in the full version as well.
