Referencing a fixed variable list

[Scott10284]

So I have shapes with shape data using a fixed variable list (None;Opened;Closed). This shape data is Prop.Contacts in my shape data worksheet.

I want to turn a part of the shape off when "None" is selected.

I attempted putting the following in the Geometry.NoShow field: IF(Prop.Contacts="None",1,0)

The function IF(Prop.Contacts="None",1,0) results in 1 or true no matter what fixed variable I select, including None.

What am I doing wrong???

If my fixed variables are numbers rather that words it work perfectly.....

You're trying to compare text, use strsame fcn, e.g., if(strsame(prop.xyz, "yes"), "True", "False")

Wapperdude, I swear I tried that last night (after an exhausting day) and it didn't work.

I tried it again this morning with a fresh mind and apparently did not make a mistake - IT WORKED.

Thanks for the advice man!

Yeah...sometimes you just have to step away.
