I am trying to write an if else statement, but with an or condition as follows (which doesn't work!)

If strCategory="Corfu" or "Site Admin" then

...

End If

Any sugestions would be very helpful.

Thanks

Nathan

are you the same Nathan that has been here before? the one who drinks beer and hosts with JH?

You have to use the variable between all operators like zaboss wrote..

If intVariable = 1 OR intVariable = 2 AND intVariable2 = 5 THEN

Using () helps when mixing ORS with ANDS

shoot.. forgot..

If you want it to be either var 1 = 1 Or var1 = 2 and var 2 = 5 then you have to do it like this:

If intVariable = 1 OR (intVariable = 2 AND intVariable2 = 5) THEN

Yes correct SemiKolon. I tried a while back to change my email address in my profile, but must have incorrectly entered it as it does not send me an activation email - so I am unable to log into my old account.

Re Beer - yep I drink loads - especially after Greece winning the football last night!

RE coding -

if strCategory="Corfu - Greece" then

(works fine)

If strCategory="Corfu" or strCategory="Site Admin" then

(throws an error)

Not sure why, and I cannot tell you which error it is throwing as all error codes display my site map page!

Any help would be very welcome.

Thanks - my fault sorry - the problem is not with the expression, but the coding run when the if statement is true! - Thanks for all you help though - again I owe everyone beers!
