ben,

It looks like your variable is misnamed. Shouldn't FtpFail be called
FtpSucceed? However, I don't think that's the problem. Maybe you should
try explicitly testing for False before Else:

If FtpSucceed = True Then
MsgBox "Order has been successfully Exported."
ElseIf FtpSucceed = False Then
MsgBox "Order has been saved but it has not been exported. Please
check your connection to the internet and try again."
Else
MsgBox "I don't know what's going on!!!"
End If

hth,

If FtpFail = True Then
MsgBox "Order has been successfully Exported."
Else
MsgBox "Order has been saved but it has not been exported. Please check
your
connection to the internet and try again."
End If

FtpFail is a global Public Variable Dimmed as a Boolean
The variable is read by an API call to write a file to an FTP server
Even if FtpFail = True (by stepping through the program and a msgbox and
debug message I always get true, and the file actually writes) it always
Displays the error message for False, regardless of what the value of
FtpFail
actually is. am i doing something wrong?
