Thread: MD5 HASH with single quote = grief in dao.FindFirst

Here is a solution to the problem described in the thread.   Namely a dao recordset using a .FindFirst sql
where the sql searched for a text string with a single quote.    Doubling the single quote failed to make a match.

Further investigation showed that the .FindFirst was case insensitive.   
You must use a full SQL query string using the Where clause (0=StrComp([field],"searchstring",0))   
You cannot use that clause in a .FindFirst Filter.

Function H70CheckBin(strHash As String) As Long
    'A Case Sensitive SQL match for the HASH.
    'return the IDHashProspSched if the strHash is found in
H70HashProspSched
    'return 0 if not found.   Protect against 0 being a legitimate ID.
    'technique from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209674
    Dim sql As String
    Dim rsh70 As DAO.Recordset
    Set rsh70 = dbTS.OpenRecordset("Select * from  H70HashProspSched as H
WHERE (0 = StrComp(H.HASH, '" & wwQuoteFix(strHash) & "',0))")
       With rsh70
        If .EOF Then
            H70CheckBin = 0
        Else
            H70CheckBin = !IDHashProspSched
        End If
    End With
    Set rsh70 = Nothing
End Function

    ID = H70CheckBin("aAaAaAaBcDeFG")    'Answer is -2030670587  correct
    ID = H70CheckBin("aAaAaAABcDeFG")    'Answer is 0            correct!
    ID = H70CheckBin("AAAAAABCDEFG")     'answer is 1092326831    correct
    ID = H70CheckBin("AAaAAABCDEFG")     'answer is 0
correct.
    ID = H70CheckBin("$¥¨3¶¯ô¼.Ë©£F³Ñ")    'Answer is -1915054114    works
    ID = H70CheckBin("-s3ë=­'[+@û;ÒëN")    'Answer is  1106461086    works.
It even works on the single quote.

I still say there is a problem with a single quote in a
dao.recordset.findfirst.   But the solution to fix the case insensitivity
also fixes the single quote problem.
