RESOLVED String Comparison Problem -

I have stored the names of two printers in an INI using WritePrivateProfileString. I read them back into two strings using GetPrivateProfileString. I then want to set the printer to the name of one of those strings:

Dim prn As Printer
Dim str As String

For Each prn In Printers
str = prn.DeviceName
If Name$ = str$ Then MsgBox "Success": Exit For
MsgBox Name$
MsgBox str$
Next

The problem is that both Name$ and String$ are exactly the same in the MsgBoxes but my success condition never fires. Do i need to do some special formating to get a loaded INI string to match a Printer DeviceName string?

Solution:
Ret$ = Space(255)
Call GetPrivateProfileString("Printers", "FullPage", "", Ret$, 255, IniFile$)
Ret$ = Left(Ret$, Len(Trim$(Ret)) - 1)
fpPrinter$ = Ret$
