[RESOLVED] Name that thread

Ok so I am new to programing, so let me explain what I want to code and if someone could give me a point in the right direction I can go from there.

I want to code something like a yes/No chart..

EX:

If condition1=1 goto 2
elseif condition=2 go 3
else condition=3 go to 100

Shuold I use a if/and/or or is there a better way to do this?

Cheers!

First of all, I'd recommend against using GoTo in any of your code. There's almost always a better solution than using GoTo.

2nd, you're not being specific enough. If you want to execute code based off of a certain condition, then use If/Then or Select/Case statements.

If there's just 2 or 3 conditions then If/Then is fine, if there's more then Select/Case will be better and less time consuming. ie:

vb Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim intAge As Integer
    
    intAge = 50
    
    Select Case intAge
        Case Is < 20
            MsgBox "You're younger than 20"
        Case Is >= 40
            MsgBox "You're over the hill"
        Case 42, 72, 56
            MsgBox "You're either 42, 72, or 56 years old"
        Case 100
            MsgBox "wow"
    End Select
End Sub

Thanks for the reply, quick question though..

Wouldn't this code end Line 9 if intAge > 40?
Very good example of what I am looking for, just whondering if you threw it together and did not see that or if I am missing something.

Thanks again!

1. Private Sub Form_Load()
2. Dim intAge As Integer
3.
4. intAge = 50
5.
6. Select Case intAge
7. Case Is < 20
8. MsgBox "You're younger than 20"
9. Case Is >= 40
10. MsgBox "You're over the hill"
11. Case 42, 72, 56
12. MsgBox "You're either 42, 72, or 56 years old"
13. Case 100
14. MsgBox "wow"
15. End Select

No if it is Greater than or equal to then it will say "You're Over the hill"

I did just throw it together real quick.

If intAge = 42 it will still say 'Over the hill' because Case 42, 72, 56 comes AFTER Case >= 40. So Case >= 40 will execute first.

Ok, I think the only reason I noticed is because I compiled it to see what it would do. :p
