[AccessD] Learning .Net -- PHP Instead?

What's wrong with

Do
    ... initial code here....
    If <condition1> then  'else goto loop
           ...more code here....
           If  <condition2>  then   'else goto loop  
                  ...more code here...
           End If
    End if
Loop

Again, the indentation from the IF...End IF makes the code much easier to follow that a flat 
sequence with a series of GOTOs hidden throughout.
