Well that could be so lets review.

>>Function SomeMethod() AS Boolean
>>
>>   Dim result as Boolean = False
"result" starts out false here
>>
>>   If FirstCheck() = False Then
>>      result = False
then if FirstCheck() is true, nothing happens but if it is false, "result" is still false

>>   ElseIf SecondCheck() = False Then
>>      result = False
>>    Else
>>        'Other code here
>>   EndIf

now if SecondCheck() is true, no change to "result" but if it is false, then "result" is still false.  No indication what Else does.
>>
>>   Return result
Here we might as well just return false.
>>      
>>End Function
>>

What did I get wrong?
