HIDE IF startdate is the same as enddate

[Nathon Jones]

Hi again,

I have the following code on my page. I am trying to hide the
"eventenddate" if it is the same as the eventdate.

<%IF (rsDateMatch.Fields.Item("eventenddate").Value) <>
"<%=(rsDateMatch.Fields.Item('eventdate').Value)%> " Then%>
- <%= DoDateTime((rsDateMatch.Fields.Item("eventenddate" ).Value), 1, 2057)
%><br>
<%End IF%>

The above is giving me:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0409)
Unterminated string constant

So I tried:

<%IF (rsDateMatch.Fields.Item("eventenddate").Value) <>
"(rsDateMatch.Fields.Item('eventdate').Value)" Then%>
- <%= DoDateTime((rsDateMatch.Fields.Item("eventenddate" ).Value), 1, 2057)
%><br>
<%End IF%>

But this is showing me both the start date and the end date, even if they
are the same.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Nath.

You have extra quote marks around the second element of the comparison chunk
of code...
Remove them and you should be fine.

Thanks Rob,

That's done it.

<%IF (rsDateMatch.Fields.Item("eventenddate").Value) <>
(rsDateMatch.Fields.Item("eventdate").Value) Then%>
- <%= DoDateTime((rsDateMatch.Fields.Item("eventenddate" ).Value), 1, 2057)
%>
<%End IF%>

Great.
Nath.
