Can i say OR in an if/then statement

[crispy]

I am trying to say

if (condition) is true OR (condition) is true THEN

Can I use OR or do ihave to break it down into an elseif statement?

I tried OR but it does not seem to work.

thanks. crispy

I am trying to say

if (condition) is true OR (condition) is true THEN

if (condition) OR (condition) THEN

or

if (condition) = true OR (condition) = true THEN

but remeber that is a boolean value true or false, it is not the same a
string value "true"

in that case

use
if (condition) = 'true' OR (condition) = 'true' THEN

you may even want to use lcase(condition) = 'true'

lcase(value) chanes it to lower case

I can only guess that you tried

if x=5 or 10 then

which is incorrect and should be

if x=5 or x=10 then

And:

if x=5 or not x>3 then

is legal.

I strongly recommend you use brackets to keep track of things.

if (x=1) or (x=2) then
'x is either 1 or 2
end if
You'll end up going insane trying to solve order of operation bugs if you
don't.
