Easy Questions

[Nitro]

I have two questions the first one is:

1. Is there a more simplify way to write the following?

If strX = "A" or strX = "B" then


2. The exe that one download from the internet, what language is that written in. Because those exe is has no other require files (such as dll).

Thank You

1) No
2) I don't know what EXE you mean, but it doesn't matter. You can't tell what language an EXE was derived from because they all get compiled into machine code. One thing you can know is that it wasn't written in VB, since VB can not produce stand-alone EXEs.

Hey Martin!

Thank You for replying.

1. So you can't type in something like the following:

if strX ="A" or "B" then

2. The exe I am talking about are programs that you download from graphics sites. You double-click on the exe and an orange runs around on your desktop. Do you have any idea language they used? Too bad I can't attach the exe to this message.

1) Unfortunately not. While that will compile, it won't give the result you expect. I don't know if you would consider this simpler, but you can also do this

    Select Case strX
        Case "A", "B"
            MsgBox "It's A or B"
        Case "C"
            MsgBox "It's a C"
        Case Else
            MsgBox "It's something else"
    End Select

2) Maybe C++, but as I said there's no way to tell.

Hi.
For:

If strX = "A" or strX = "B" then

Did you Check IIF() in your help file.

Good Luck
