Steve,
As long as you keep your ranges as you have them in your If statements, the
following formula should yield the correct result. I know this doesn't
address the question that you asked, but others have responded to that, and
I just couldn't help fiddling. Hope you don't mind.
<CFSET Grp=("form.adult + form.children")>
<CFSET SmRmRq=0>
<!--- The \ in this formula is correct. --->
<CFSET SmRmRq=Iif(Grp LTE 28,(Grp-1)\4+1,8)>
Of course, this is harder to modify in the future, should one range change.
I'm also not sure whether it runs slower or faster. I am still not sure
whether my obsession with physically compact code runs counter to good
programming sense. I guess I should flip through a CS book!
