Martijn,

you have all my sympathy, although that "feature" of SQL Server is
documented and apparently well known among users. I used to have this
one in a list of SQL Server "gotchas" at my classes, but soon realized
that most of the times users already knew about it. Fire burns, it
seems. ;-)
I always apply a simple rule when writing *everything* (file names,
code in whatever language, letters, prose, e-mails...): the case is
always sensitive. It works for me. :-)
