If then statement not working

[ken]

I am trying to use the statement below but it is not picking up the first
condition. When severity1 = S1 and severity = "" I get Severity = "" instead
of severity=S1. I get the correct one if the severity is S2.
Is the format correct.
Thanks
Ken

if RSupdate("severity1")= "S1" and RSupdate("severity2")= "" then
Severity = "S1"
else if RSupdate("severity1")= "" and RSupdate("severity2")= "S2" then
Severity = "S2"
else severity=""
end if

Response.Write is your friend - use it see below:

Response.Write "severity1 = """ & RSupdate("severity1") & """<BR>"

if RSupdate("severity1")= "S1" and RSupdate("severity2")= "" then

if RSupdate("severity1")= "S1" and RSupdate("severity2")= "" then
Severity = "S1"
else if RSupdate("severity1")= "" and RSupdate("severity2")= "S2" then
Severity = "S2"
else severity=""
end if

How about this ...

Severity = RSupdate("severity1") & RSupdate("severity2")

This way Severity should end up being either "S1" or "S2" or "".

Perhaps it is because you are using 'else if' and not 'elseif' as one word?!
