New2,
You have two problems, though only one is causing the symptoms you
described. I could just give you the answer as many often do, but I
think you would get more out of it if I simply steer you in the right
direction. Check the placement of your curly braces to fix the problem
you described. Also review usage of boolean operators to correct the
less obvious issue.
Let me know if you still need help and I will send you the solution.
