Question about operators

[Ralph DiMola]

I just had this situation:

If 1=2 or 1=1 then
Some code would NOT execute here***wrong****
End if

BUT....

If ( (1=2) or (1=1) ) then
Some code would execute here****Correct*****
End if

OR

If ( 1=2 or 1=1 ) then
Some code would execute here****Correct*****
End if

I just use parens all over the place now.

I have tried that to as a kind of between function. It doesn't work. It will
evaluate one part which will return true or false, then the next part which
essentially says true <= 8 which of course is false.
