DavidR DavidR Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-06-10 Posts: 10	I need to know if this is possible. I want to say something like: if @producttype="Windows XP Professional" configure proxy settings this way else if ingroup("Internet") configure proxy settings this way else configure proxy settings this way endif Can I use ELSE like that ? I've never tried to use it more than once. Thanks for all of the input on my last post :-)

You are nesting IFs which is fine but every IF needs its own ENDIF. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Post your revised code in code brackets with indenting. Code: IF $Whatever 'do stuff' ELSE IF $somethingElse 'do something else' ELSE IF $NoneOfTheAbove 'do this' ENDIF ENDIF ENDIF _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Each one is associate with a particular IF. The indented structure is the key to readability of the NESTED IF statements. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

DavidR DavidR Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-06-10 Posts: 10	??? I've never used SELECT-CASE-ENDSELECT. Does that do the same thing only better ?
