I usually do that... except when I run into a huge list of multiple conditions for each possibility (TRUE && FALSE OR FALSE && TRUE) etc. To me IF/ELSEIF is easier to ready in that case, and SWITCH is a LOT easier to read if you have one variable and have a CASE for each possibility of that variable. Just my opinion of course :) I guess when it came down to it I just had to stick with what works for me. I cleaned up a lot of the totals and counting, so it's MUCH easier to read now :) To imitate Tedd...
