In Access 2000 I am importing records which have a record type identifier
which is a 2 character alphanumeric code, in this code "EC" is a different
code to "Ec". How can I get Access to distinguish between the 2 when running
queries or VBA?
 
JET is always case insensitive, so there is no efficient solution.

It is possible to fudge it by using StrComp(), e.g.

SELECT * FROM Table1
WHERE StrComp([Field1], "Ec", 0) = 0;
 
Allen,

Thank you, built that into my SQL statement and it has worked a treat.

Thanks,
Steve
