Server validation: how to validate a field against a word?

Hello all,
I need server validation on a single field. I need that the user enters a specific word, case sensitive (this is a coupon code).
Example, the user needs to enter exactly the word: MYWORD
How can check it using Server validation?
What is the correct syntax to use the regex option?
TIA
tony

I think you can use "Like Entry" validation to do a direct match.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Thanks Ray,
I use this kind of validation against other form fields usually. But I was not sure it would work on strings.
Thanks again.
