Re: Nested IF statements in Captivate

[Gregory P Sweet <gps03 -at- health -dot- state -dot- ny -dot- us>]

Hi Cindy,

It would be easier to answer if you posted a code sample that was failing.

It sounds like you want to check multiple conditions and CP is failing to
check for additional conditions after the first is met. Have you considered
using branching pages to check for each condition?

thanks,

-Greg
