from the immediate window:

? false and true or true
True
? false and (true or true)
False

so why struggle. Use parens to make your intent clear.

why is it a problem - evaluating from left to right it would look like

(false and true) or true
(false and true) becomes false so the second evaluation is False or True

i have to believe i'm misreading this code, somehow. when

the first time the code is run through. but then when

get triggered, because now chkboolean.value=false (which
it shows, correctly, in the watch window).

If chkBoolean.Value = True And _
optCouponsOnly.Value = True Or _
optSchedCoupons.Value = True Then
MultiPage1.pgCoupons.Visible = True
chkBoolean.Value = False
MultiPage1.Value = 1
txtProgID.SetFocus

thanks for any assistance.
