I have two strings (one in a database accessed using 'rs.fields("JokeName")' and one accessed using 'jn'). I want to compare these strings to test if they are simalar (notice i said simalar, like if jokename is 1 2 3 and jn is 3 then i want it the result to be true). Can anyone help?

well if the field just contain like 123 etc you can use the instring function of asp. but I guess your string may be more complex so, either the search in the database with LIKE or if you use sql you can use the sql server soundex function which you can use to get similar sounding words i.e. read and beat sound similar. Soundex will return how similar they are. But getting it from your fieldname Jokename the LIKE should be sufficient....
