I'm looking for a fairly simple script that will perform an if/then function. Example: If Gender=Female, then Field1=Her and if Gender=Male, then Field1=His.

Anyone out there know where I could find such a script? Anyone willing to provide a totoal newbie a little guidance on writing this 'simple' script?

Thanks.

Just so you know it's an if/else statement.
Now then, concerning your question, how would the "gender" variable be set? A prompt? Form field?

A statement, huh? I'm learning things already. This is exciting!

Anyway, it would be selected from a list/menu. The two options are, as one would expect for gender, Male or Female.
