I'm far from expert on variables, but doesn't the first line have a quote in

the wrong spot.  I'm pointing out the obvious typo, which may have come from

retyping it into the email..


If (Eval("currentanswer" eq "_level0:correctanswer"))


Could it be that Simple?  BTW eq is equivalent to "equals", what is it for

"not equal to"?


TIA
