[AccessD] Learning .Net -- PHP Instead?

Of course it didn't, I am typing into a laptop using outlook and my fingers.
It is not structured.  It is not copied.

Just lil 'ol me!

Max,

Your examples don't use indentation which is the key to readable code.  
I find the second example below much more logical and easy to follow that
the first. 
   
1.
If <condition> then
    Do something
    Goto exithere
Endif
Do something else
Do something else
Do something else
Do something else
Do something else
Do something else
Do something else
Do something else
Exithere:
Do some more
Do some more
Do some more

2.
If <condition> then
      Do something
Else
     Do something else 
     Do something else 
     Do something else 
     Do something else 
     Do something else 
     Do something else 
     Do something else 
     Do something else 
     Do something else 
Endif
Do some more
Do some more
Do some more
