Greater> less than stuff

[Marc Burmeister]

My program needs to charge $0.30 for 0-499 copies, $0.28 for 500-749 copies, $0.27 for 750-999 copies, $0.25 for 1000 or more copies
But it reads $0.28 for everything 500 and over. The <> thing confuse me can anyone help me out;(

Private Sub cmdcalculate_Click()
Dim intcopy As Integer
Dim curtotal As Currency
Dim curpercopy As Currency
intcopy = txtcopy.Text
If intcopy <= 499 Then
intpercopy = 0.3
ElseIf intcopy >= 500 < 750 Then
intpercopy = 0.28
ElseIf intcopy >= 750 < 1000 Then
intpercopy = 0.27
ElseIf intcopy >= 1000 Then
intpercopy = 0.25
End If
lblpercopy.Caption = intpercopy
lbltotalprice.Caption = intpercopy * intcopy
End Sub

The problem is in your syntax

you need:

ElseIf intcopy >= 500 And intcopy < 750 Then

etc etc. What was happening before (i think) is that it is first evaluating "intcopy >= 500" which it was and it returns "True". Now, internally True has a value of -1. So now the compare is -1 < 750 (ie, it uses the result of "intcopy >= 500" and uses it in the "< 750" compare. obviously, -1 is less than 750 so the whole condition becomes true and that is why you always get 0.28

hope this explains it,.
