Roger,
Thank you very much for your help. I didn't know you can use this syntax.

>>Bonnie,
>>This is what I understood how switch works, or I would prefer to say "does not work" <g>. I am surprised that such a highly touted language as C# does not have a more flexible switch/do case. In VB you can at least use ELSEIF. But in C# I will have to do a lot of IF/ELSE/IF/ELSE, and so on.

>>>The switch/case statement in C# is definitely way more limiting than in VFP. You can't do what you're trying to do with a switch/case, you'd need to use if statements. The only part of the switch/case that you've used that is actually valid is just this:
>>>
>>>switch (iTime)
>>>{
>>> case iBegin :
>>> Response.Write("iTime = iBegin");
>>> break;
>>> case iEnd:
>>> Response.Write("iTime = iEnd");
>>> break;
>>>}

>>>You can only test that the variable is equal to what you specify in the case, that's it.
