Okay, maybe somebody can see what I am missing. I have a form that has a doc variable with 5 choices. I am trying to get them to default based of the patients BMI. I can make it work on the first 2 choices based of bmi, but not any of the others.

Here is the function I am using:

{!IF OBSNOW("BMI") == "" THEN ""
       ELSE IF OBSNOW("BMI")<= "15"
           THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "cachectic"
       ELSE IF (OBSNOW("BMI") >= "15.1" OR OBSNOW("BMI")<= "18.5")
           THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "slim"
       ELSE IF (OBSNOW("BMI") >= "18.6" OR OBSNOW("BMI")<= "25")
           THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = " average weight"
       ELSE IF (OBSNOW("BMI") >= "25.1" OR OBSNOW("BMI")<= "30")
           THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "overweight"
       ELSE IF OBSNOW("BMI") >= "30.1"
           THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "obese"
       ELSE ""
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF}

Once I figure out how to attach items, i will attach the dlg file of the form.

Here is the file

You might try 'and' instead of 'or'.

Doh that was it. I knew it was something I was over looking.

Thanks

Ernie,

As an alternative, either of these snippets should accomplish the same thing and might be a little easier to maintain if you're making changes to the code later.

{!IF OBSNOW("BMI") == "" THEN ""
       ELSE IF OBSNOW("BMI")<= "15"
           THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "cachectic"
       ELSE IF OBSNOW("BMI")<= "18.5"
            THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "slim"
       ELSE IF OBSNOW("BMI")<= "25"
            THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = " average weight"
       ELSE OBSNOW("BMI")<= "30"
            THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "overweight"
       ELSE IF OBSNOW("BMI") >= "30.1"
           THEN DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "obese"
       ELSE ""
   ENDIF
   ENDIF
   ENDIF
   ENDIF
   ENDIF
   ENDIF}

Or,

{!COND

   CASE OBSNOW("BMI")<= "15"
        DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "cachectic"
   CASE OBSNOW("BMI")<= "18.5"
        DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "slim"
   CASE OBSNOW("BMI")<= "25"
        DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = " average weight"
   CASE OBSNOW("BMI")<= "30"
        DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "overweight"
   CASE OBSNOW("BMI") >= "30.1"
        DOCUMENT.SPINE_WEIGHT = "obese"
   ELSE ""
   ENDCOND}
