[AccessD] Is there a preferred style

Hi Joe:

The way I would do it is to create the whole test in one group with the most
likely 'true' at the top and the rest in descending order like:

if test one is true then

	do something

elseif test two is true then

	do something

elseif test three is true then

	do something

'else
'
'	do something	

endif

I always like to have an else at the bottom of statement if there is even
the slightest chance the code will fail over if some value gets through.
That is only necessary if that is what is required.

HTH
Jim

Working alone is the pits.
 
I have three tests to set the value of a text box. What is considered to be
good coding practice?
 
1.	if test one is true then
do something
            end if
 
            if test two is true then 
                        dosomething
                        else
 do something
            end if
end sub
    
 
2.	            if test one is true then
do something
            else
                        if test two is true then 
                        dosomething
                        else
 do something
            end if
            end if
end sub
