So there I am up to my thighs in a switch statement with a good 500 odd cases . . .

. . . and, like treacle, I find myself getting bogged down . . .

e.g:

   switch the text of fld "TEKST"
      case 1
        --do something--
      break
      case 2
        --do something else--
      break
   end switch

is all very charming and straightforward.

But, suppose I would like to include a CASE for ALL excluded cases (hope you are following me here):

e.g:

   switch the text of fld "TEKST"
      case 1
        --do something--
      break
      case 2
        --do something else--
      break
      case "any other value in fld "TEKST" '
        --run around babbling about purple bananas--
      break
   end switch

has anyone any idea how to effect this sort of situation WITHOUT using a bunch of nested IF . . . THEN statements instead???

Richmond.
