Why am i getting this error??

CrazySka

Ok i keep on getting an else without if error here and i cannot understand it anyone got any ideas

If Source.Name = imgten And Val(frmstock.txttencents) = 0 Then
lblerror.Caption = "you have no more ten cents left"
ElseIf Source.Name = "imgten" Then txtamount = Val(txtamount.Text) + 0.1
End If

try moving "txtamount = Val(txtamount.Text) + 0.1" to the next line?

What is this ? VB?

CrazySka

yeah sorry should have said its VB
its wierd though ive gone back over previous projects ive done and the syntax seems fine, ive just reinstalled vb the other day, is it possible ive got some option set wrong or something???

Might want to structure that better

If Source.Name = "imgten" then
if Val(frmstock.txttencents) = 0 Then
lblerror.Caption = "you have no more ten cents left"
Else
txtamount = Val(txtamount.Text) + 0.1
end if
End If

Generally the AND would be better then a nested IF statement. Overuse of nested IF statements can cause your code to become hard to read and debug.

Did you cut and paste this code? I've highlighted an obvious problem although this shouldn't give you an else without if error. If you didn't can you c&p your code (the entire function) and c&p the error message?

I'm guessing that what you've typed in here is not *exactly* what your code is.

See, I reckon that what you have is the following :

if <condition> then <action>
elseif <condition> then <action>
end if

This structure is invalid in Visual Basic.

For better or for worse, VB allows the following :

if <condition> then <action>

and

if <condition then
<action>
End If

Note - my decision to put the action on a new line means I require an End If. If I don't put the action on a new line, then I don't require and end-if. Indeed, I don't just not require one....an end-if is invalid in this second example.

Now....you want an else-if included in there. This is done differently for each of the two cases above:

if <condition> then <action> else if <other condition> then <other action>

and

if <condition then
<action>
else if <other codition> then
<other action>
End If

Your code is some hybrid of these - you have your if written as though it was the first of my 2 examples, and the 'else if' written as though it was the second. This is invalid.

Also, as Phil pointed out, you have almost definitely have a seperate error, where imgten is treated once as a string value and once as a variable.

Ok i think i have it sorted now, cheers for all your help everyone, project time is a bas**** ya know.
