Paul, This particular program is running in 6.5++. Working on upgrade but still in the works. The economy tanked me on some scheduled upgrades. I will retest with le and <= and advise. Stephen Breen CDI Services, Inc. P.O. Box 3838 South Bend, In 46680 574-271-2027 Ext 207 / 222 574-532-7445 Cell

I never did ask Steve what version he is using. I always assume 7.6 or 9.0 my fault. Perhaps Steve will test or let us know the ver and if current.

If you want the sample db send a private email. It is rather simple db, but the var do work. In fact I copied your code and only changed the table/column names.

Message 'Stop and review the data now' is returned. But if I try a "<=" I always get the second result. It is almost like I can not use the <- on a variable. Note: The vthisparentcustid works great also. Anyone have any ideas? -- W2.rmd -- Set variable vMessage2 -- Used to remind a user to Check A Spread Sheet for Customer Equipment Verification -- Major Assumption - var This_CustNub2 is set on form entry -- Major Assumption - var vThis_hub is set on form entry Clear var vWarranty Clear var vthis_parentcustid Clear var vThis_Hub set var vthis_parentcustid integer = 193 set var vThis_Hub = 100001 -- If vthis_Hub = 100001 then - This works great If vthis_Hub le 99999 then - This will not work -- If vthis_parentcustid = 105 then - This works great SET VAR vMessage2 = 'Stop and review the data now' ELSE SET VAR vMessage2 Text = 'test2' ENDIF RECALC VAR RETURN ________________________________ From: [email protected] on behalf of [email protected] Sent: Wed 12/16/2009 12:33 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Displaying Message On Form on Initial Entry of Data Your "if" clause is valid. You can put as many conditions as you want in an If clause. Karen Karen and Bill can you combine variable's ? Such as follows: If vMessageDisplayed = 'yes' and vMessageDisplayed1 <= 100 THEN SET VAR vMessage = 'Stop and review the data now' ELSE SET VAR vMessage TEXT = NULL ENDIF RECALC VAR
