    I want to compare several items and if they are all equal then do

    If (a = a) AND (b = b) AND (c = c) AND (d = d) Then

      do you mean this?

      if a=b and a=c and a=d then
      ' all equal
      else
      ' not the same
      end if

          Unless one of those can be Null, according to the example,
          you don't need the test. As shown it will always evaluate to
          True....

              OMG.. This is brilliant code! Hope you dont mind I copy it so I can use it
              in my own programs.

                  hey, wouldn't it be cool to also have a function that would allow you to
                  give it the values you wanted to compare against a variable and if a match
                  existed in the list...return a certain value? i think i'd call that function
                  "switch-a-roo"...maybe just "SWITCH". but that's years down the line...way
                  too advanced for the technology we have today! after all, we've still gotta
                  work out how this "IF THEN ELSE ELSEIF" stuff is going to work! another wish
                  list item i'd have would be maybe something called "SELECT". its purpose
                  would be to unclutter IF/THEN/ELSEIF/ELSE when you had a bunch of conditions
                  where you may want to execute code...maybe call the comparitor value a
                  "CASE"...li ke "in case this value is eq. to this other value".

                  but i digress, that's all just too far in the future.

                  lol

                      I have a truly radical idea. Maybe we could have variables that could hold
                      different kinds of data! Like if you set it equal to a string, it would
                      become a string variable. If you set it to an integer, it would switch to
                      being an integer.

                      Wadaya think? Too difficult? Too strange a concept? Would it even be
                      useful, like if you didn't know what kind of data you were going to get?

                      If/Then/ElseIf/Else...I'll have to think about that one. We may be onto
                      something there. I think there's a problem, though. How will the compiler
                      know how many lies belong to the Else? I think it should have an EndIf or
                      something like that.
