If / End If still biting me on the butt
I"m pretty sure I have the correct amount of End If's here, but whenever I save it I get a syntax error for the End While line. If I tack three End If's on the end before the end while, then the error goes away, but I become more confused. I just started re-writing my app all over again and this is really frustrating me. Wish there was some proper "Unterminated If on Line #X" error messages from the compiler.
There may be other issues in this code, but I'm only concerned about writing proper if then else else if end if statements.
