[2005] Need help with IF statment

[jre1229]

Hi,
I am trying to create an if statement with three things that must be check. I need VARIABLE1 to be true and need VARIABLE2 OR VARIABLE3 to be true also. I just can't seem to get the logic right. If I do VARIABLE1 = True AND VARIABLE2 = True OR VARIABLE3 = True then obviously if VARIABLE3 is true then it will pass regardless if VARIABLE1 is true or now. And I can't think of any other way. Any ideas?
Thanks!

if Variable1 = true then
if variable2 = true or variable3 = true then
here goes your code
end if 
end if

hpoe this helps

[JuggaloBrotha]

If Variable1 = True AndAlso (Variable2 = True OrElse Variable3 = True) Then
  'Code here
End If

The parenthesis around (Variable2 = True OrElse Variable3 = True) is what makes the difference

[Atheist]

You dont actually need to compare the boolean variable with the boolean constant True. This is sufficient:

If Variable1 AndAlso (Variable2 OrElse Variable3) Then
  'Code here
End If

[jre1229]

Sunshine, your code would work and I don't know why I didn't think about doing it like that. I am going to use JuggaloBrotha's suggestion since it combines it into one line.

Atheist, It actually compares it to text, I just did it like that because it was easier to explain.

Thanks guys!

For some reason this wouldn't work. I am using text instead of "true". And actually I am checking variable2 to be equal to two different texts. There really is no variable3. Here's my code.

If Variable1 = "Text1" AndAlso (Variable2 = "Text2" OrElse Variable2 = "Text3") Then

For some reason this code will not continue if my Variable2 is "Text2" or "Text3". Anyone see why?

Im still not sure what your trying to achieve...

hen obviously if VARIABLE3 is true then it will pass regardless if VARIABLE1 is true or now

if any of them is true then it will pass?

That code works fine
Ive tested it..
are you sure your setting your variables

If Me.TextBox1.Text = "1" AndAlso (Me.TextBox2.Text = "2" OrElse Me.TextBox2.Text = "3") Then
MessageBox.Show("PASSED")
Else
MessageBox.Show("fAILED")
End If

[jre1229]

Could it have to do with me using <> to say it is not equal?

If Variable1 = "Text1" AndAlso (Variable2 <> "Text2" OrElse Variable2 <> "Text3") Then

[Shaggy Hiker]

The problem appears to be with AND.

The way you have the code, both of these conditions MUST be true:

1) Variable1 is Text1
2) Either Variable2 = Text2 or Text3

That agrees with the way you described the problem in the first post, but then in post #6, you suggest that you want something somewhat different.

If you use <> in place of = within the parenthesis, you have a totally different issue. That would be saying "Variable 2 is NOT string2 or NOT string 3". Well...that's true no matter what variable 2 is, because if variable 2 is string2 then it is NOT string 3, and if it is string3 then it certainly can't be string2.

I think you need to tell us exactly what you want and im sure someone here can show you
Post 9 is the first time ive seen the not equals (<>)

post 2 by sinshinebh should work for you if you do it all in nested ifs

if var1 = "this" then
if var2 <> "this then
if var3 = "this" then
' its true

thats if thats what your looking for - it may be clearer if you try it that way

[Whosat]

If (Variable1 = "Text1") Then
If (Variable2 = "Text2") Then
<code if its text2>
Else
If (Variable2 = "Text3") Then
<code if its text3>
End If
End If
End If

As I understand your posts, I think you might be looking for

If Variable1="Text1" AndAlso Not (Variable2="Text2" Or Variable2="Text3") Then
'Code here 
End If
