I have been strucggling with the FMP-IF command and also read (nearly) all posts. I am not sure about the syntax which makes troubleshooting very hard.

This one seems to work:

[FMP-If:RecNr.eq.'1']

niks dus

[/FMP-If]

because recNr is a integer.

But how about this one:

[FMP-If:nav.eq."00"]

niks dus

[FMP-ELSE]

KLKK

[/FMP-If]

Is that the correct syntax is nav is a text field. and is "00" correctly in this case?

I have also seen in this forum using { } around field names.

Can anyone show me some light in this [FMP-If] tunnel

thanks

Try this:

[FMP-If:RecNr.eq.1]

niks dus

[/FMP-If]

and this:

[FMP-If:nav.eq.00]

niks dus

[FMP-ELSE]

KLKK

[/FMP-If]

Quotes are not used, i.e. no ' nor ".

All the best.

In addition : how about an or statement in the FMP-IF statement

(* i know this is not correct, but how then? *)

[FMP-If:{nav.eq.10 or nav.eq.11}]

thanks

This is from the TechInfo article:

on the www.filemaker.com site:

[FMP-If: (Field:name.Eq.david).or.(Field:name.Eq.dave)]

Welcome David!

[FMP-ElseIf: Field:name.Eq.eric]

Hi Eric!

[FMP-Else]

Hi Stranger!

[/FMP-If]

All the best.
