elem.Name = TxtAttBlock.text Does not match Why

[muck]

I am using AutoCAD VBA
I am debuging a VBA AutoCAD Program for the following statement

If elem.Name = TxtAttBlock.text Then

This statement is false even when is see the strings match each other in de******.
Is this because they are not the same type of variable? If so, how do
I make this statement test for a string match?

Thank you,

For your Information I am using the following code.

For Each elem In ThisDrawing.PaperSpace
If elem.EntityName = "AcDbBlockReference" Then
If elem.Layer <> blocklayer Then GoTo NxtelemPaper
elemText = elem.Name
If elem.Name = TxtAttBlock.text Then
foundAttributes = True
Array1 = elem.GetAttributes
c = c + 1
End If
End If
End if

When you get attributes it saves them in an array style so attibute 0 is first 1 is next attribute
array1(0) etc

found it a couple of posts down

myAttributes = myObject.GetAttributes
myval = myAttributes(0).TextString
