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

That's what the "default" statement is for:

   switch the text of fld "TEKST"
      case 1
        --do something--
      break
      case 2
        --do something else--
      break
      default -- everything else
        --run around babbling about purple bananas--
      break
   end switch

However, I don't know if it always works with purple bananas.


Thank you Kee Nethery and Jacque both:

How foolish one is, but how wise one may grow,
By making enquiries at Alwinton show."
