I am about to lose my mind! Here's the deal. I have to have a form calculate conditions based on the following:

If (A >= A1 or B >= B1) then
Results1 = "Pass"

elseif

(A < A1 or B < B1) then
Results1 = "Fail"

I cannot quite get the 2 conditions to jive. If A is greater than or equal to A1 then I have no problem getting the Pass result. However is condition one is okay and condition 2 is not, B IS less than B1, I cannot get the results box to trigger a fail.

What am I missing?!

The syntax for the "if..." statement must end with an "endif' in FormCalc.

I would nest try using parenthesis to set the order of the evaluation and remove the redundant logical statement from the "eleif". Also use the message box to display some information about the comparisons to see what is going on:


$host.messageBox( Concat("A >= A1: ", (A >= A1), " B >= B1: " , (B >= B1) ), "Comparison Results" , 3)
$host.messageBox( Concat("A >= A1 or B >= B1: ", (A >= A1 or B >= B1) ), "Comparison Results or" , 3)If ( (A >= A1) or (B >= B1) ) then
Results1 = "Pass"
else
Results1 = "Fail"
endif
