If I’m doing, say, a simple database equation on my PC or Palm, I use <>. That’s what’s available. But I’ve always considered the combined “=\” mark to be the default “not equal to” symbol. The != is a new one for me. Oh, well. I’m not into Kool...
Hah, the most irritating problem I’ve run into when writing a script to access a database (vb script) was a problem with the operators I was using.
Technically, both operators were correct and performed the same function..but, it wouldn’t work, because I was mixing them in the same line of code...bleah....
