Comparison Operators

Comparison operators compare two expressions of the same data type. The result of the comparison is a Boolean value. The following table summarizes these operators:

Operator	Meaning
=	Equal
!=	Not equal
<>	Not equal
<	Less than
<=	Less than or equal to
>	Greater than
>=	Greater than or equal to

You can precede any of the comparison operators with the word Not, for example:

• Not=

• Not<

• Not>=

Expressions formed with comparison operators form logical terms that can be combined using Boolean operators.

String comparisons are case-sensitive. You can use the Upper or Lower built-in functions to do a case-insensitive comparison.
