Hi Marv:
The if statement is fine.
if strState = "CA" Then
decOrder = decTotalAmount * decSalesTax
end if
The problem is in your calculation. You need to make sure your initial values are getting updated with either new calculated values or newly entered values. Then you need to calculate the Order Amount based on the price of the Item Ordered and Add in the Calculated Sales Tax. If you do this the If Statement Syntax should work.

Hi.
got an application.
and here's the basic prmeises.
got 99% of it working and the correct values.
but it is one bit which is not working, and tried all sorts of things, and
it is giving me a migrain.
so any one help me out with this one?
okay, you entere details for a store, mail order form.
you enter name, address,city, state, zip code, description,  quantity
,weight of the parcel and price. then you clikc the add this button, and it
gives you the dollar amount, the sales tax if shipped to a california
address, else, no sales tax which is 8%
and then the shipping charge based on a series of weights, which i have code and use a constant called Handling and is $0.25 per pound, that is working,
and then the total cost of the parcel.
the only problem is i tried to assign a string and then use an if then else
statement.a
nd in the code set the sales tax variable.
but what ever i try, it is only giving me $0.08 if i set the state code to
CA, and it is driving me mad.
so, how do i get this last little piece to work.

now here's some sample code that i wrote:


if strState = "CA" Then
decOrder = decTotalAmount * decSalesTax
end if
what am i doing wrong?
can any one point me out, where i am going wrong and how to fix this little
annoying thing.
did have a look in the msdn help, but it said that i could use a string
constant to use and if then or if then else test.
and then tried looking on google, for some more information and a couple of sites i visted, cannot remember the name of the sites, that it was a vb dot
net 2005 sites.
so can any one help me out here.
or point me to some good resources, on how to figure this one out.
this one, i have tried multiple cominbations of arranging variables, in
different combinations.
but no result.
so an i doing some thing wrong?
let me know.
cheers Marvin.,
