You have two other answers that show how to change the 'if' statement syntax. I would suggest that you look at the "Select...case" statement, which should simplify your logic a bit.

Info on the Select statement can be found here[^].

My 5 - especially as there are 5 options in the OP's post! :-)

Solution 1

VB

If Instr(message , "%" ) = 1 Or Instr(message , "%" ) = 2
(
    print message
)
elseIf Instr (message , "%" ) = 3 Or Instr(message , "%" ) = 4 Or Instr(message , "%" ) = 5
(
    print another message
)
Else
    msg = ""
End If

But I have a questions. You are using VB6, so how you are using the HTML?

Looks like xml to me ... VB6 might be old, but it can still handle xml ;-)
