    Posted: 03 April 2003 at 12:40pm

Is there a way to make this code NOT case sensitive?

this simply checks a string but it is currently case sensitive how to make it NOT?

  If InStr(logon, "username") Then

Thanks
JxR

Entire code:
<%
  If InStr(logon, "username") Then

   Else
   Response.Redirect("http://www.site.com/page.asp")
     
                End If
%>

make it all lowercase.

put the example below in an empty asppage and upload it to your server. then do a request for that file, like
test.asp?Text=ThIs_Is_A_tEsT

'---------------- begin test.asp

<html>
<body>
<% = LCase(Request.QueryString("Text")) %>
</body>
</html>

'---------------- end test.asp

you'r code would be like

<%
  If InStr(logon, LCase("username")) Then

   Else
   Response.Redirect("http://www.site.com/page.asp")
     
                End If
%>

Thanks, but I don't think this will work as I need to check for user names (logon) & if a user enters in all caps then the above LCase will not work how you have it.

So it is if login = user or USER then

The above has the LCase in the wrong spot. will it work if LCase is in front of logon:

  If InStr(LCase(logon), "username") Then

Thanks.
