Hi People!

here is the scenario:

--------------------------------------------

IF { condition_1 AND condition_2} OR{condition_1 AND condition_3}

THEN

GOto [Layout_1] OR [layout_2]

---------------------------------------------

is this possible?shold I just make another script and separate the "OR"s condistions?

thanx_again!

If (condition1 and condition2)

Go to Layout[1]

Else

If (condition1 and condition3)

Go to Layout[2]

End If

End If

Is this what you mean?

yes, I was just wondering when one 'has to stop' with the IF statements and how many are "too many" IFs and END IFs?

would your approach be "better"?

thank you!

Whatever works for you should be okay, especially with an example like this that doesn't take up much space.

oh great!

I was getting worried that FM might "go crazy executing the IF-ing"

nice...thank you for re-assurace!

All the best!

If statements are fine but "If" they are too long use "Case".

Unforuntately we in the Scripts area here and there is no Case function for scripts, only for calculations ... unless they've added it to FileMaker 6 {crosses fingers} since I'm still stuck in FileMaker 5.5.

I'm sure I saw a tech note on www.filemaker.com about the max no of IF statements in script, but it's more than most of us would ever use before breaking the script down.
