If Then problem

[stevem2004]

Hi,

Can somebody tell me what is wrong with the code below, as it just doesn't work

<%
Dim StatusType

StatusType = Request("status")

If StatusType = Approved Then %>
<!-- #include file="sendmail_tb_auth.inc" -->
<% Else If StatusType = Refused Then %>
<!-- #include file="sendmail_tb_fail.inc" -->
<% End If %>
<% End If %>


TIA
Steve

<% Else If StatusType = Refused Then %>

should be

<%ElseIf StatusType%>

Remove the space between ELse & If

Well i guess i should ask what the problem is because, its fine the way you have it, it just would be a "if" nested inside a "if" but if you wanted to use "elseif" then its wrong.

What is happening or not happening?

The problem is that the emails are not being sent.

As you might have gathered from the script I am trying to do the following; if StatusType = Approved then send approval email, if StatusType = Refused send refused email.

Could this be done another/better way?

ok, two way to do it.

<%
Dim StatusType

StatusType = "Approved"

If StatusType = "Approved" Then%>
<!-- #include file="sendmail_tb_auth.inc" -->
<%Else
If StatusType = "Refused" Then%>
<!-- #include file="sendmail_tb_fail.inc" -->
<% End If
End If %>

or

Dim StatusType

StatusType = "Approved"

If StatusType = "Approved" Then
response.write "Approved"%>
<!-- #include file="sendmail_tb_auth.inc" -->
<%ElseIf StatusType = "Refused" Then
Response.Write "Refused"%>
<!-- #include file="sendmail_tb_fail.inc" -->
<%End If %>


either way you were missing the " " around what you were tyring to match

Dim StatusType
StatusType = "Approved"

if StatusType = Approved then

this statment will be false and will not drop in the loop,
Not sure of the correct termanology but
"Approved" is not = to Approved

Hope that helps
