As suggested, a case statement is an option.
Or, to do it the way you're doing, you have to do it a little
different. Each and/or must have a full expression on each side, so it'd
be more like this:
if (gTheFullDate = "01/04/1999") or (gTheFullDate = "01/05/1999") or
(gTheFullDate = "01/07/1999")) then
-- whatever
end if
Also note that the full date format may differ depending on which country
setting the user has. In Europe it might report as "07/01/1999" (day
first) as opposed to the US (month first).
