not sure why you are using an eval here... try:

If (currentanswer eq _level0:correctanswer)

this is where you should set the variable to false.  Not sure what all

this other stuff goin on is... and there are inconsistencies with the b

vs "b" and the eq" _lev..." above. this may be because of a quick type

into the email, but if this is the same as in your code, I can see problems.

based on what you say you are trying to do above, the code should look

something like this:


if(currentAnswer eq _level0:correctAnswer)

	set Variable: "yourVariable" = "false"

End If


Hope this helps
