Help with IF and SELECT

Question

Greetings,
I have a program where some users can request awards for themselves or other users. Only approved people can request for others.
I have a table called OnBehalf that has the UserID of approved users.
I have a vaiable called same, if it is = 0 it means the person is requesting on behalf of someone else.
The problem is, everytime I make a request on behalf of someone else, even if the name is in the table as an approved requester, I get a message saying that I am not approved (msg=4)
What am I doing wrong?
'If requesting for someone else, check if authorized to request on behalf
if same = 0 Then
     dim aa
     dim bb
     aa="SELECT * FROM OnBehalf WHERE UserID = '"& Requester&"' "
     set bb= conn.Execute(aa)
     'response.write (aa)
     if Not bb.EOF Then
          response.redirect "noAuth.asp?msg=4"
          response.end
     end if
end if
Thanx in advance

I think your NOT in the IF shouldn't be there
bb.EOF will be true if the user is not a valid use
if bb.EOF = false Then
response.write "Welcome valid user : " & bb.Fields(0).Value
else
response.redirect "noAuth.asp?msg=4"
response.end
end if
Despite my c++ upbringing I always prefer = false and =true as its easier to read than IF NOT
