Hello.

I've been racking my brains for a few days trying different methods of reaching my goal... "using a variable to store an operator".

The sample below shows using an operator/variable and actually using the operator... the operator/variable does not work?

Here is a very simple version of what I want to achieve:
--------------------------------------------------------
vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal = "03/22/2005"
vFollowUp = "02/22/2005"

vTest = "<="

response.write "Variable operator : "&vTest&"<br>"
response.write "<BR>This is the value of follow up:"&vFollowUp
response.write "<BR>This is the value of start week on what day:"&cstr(cdate(vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal))
'response.write "<BR>This is the result using VARIABLE operator: "& eval(vFollowUp &cstr(vTest)& cstr(cdate(vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal)))&"<BR>"

if vFollowUp & vTest & cdate(vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal) then
response.write "Inside if This is the result using actulal operator: "&eval(vFollowUp >= cstr(cdate(vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal)))&"<BR>"
end if

if vFollowUp <= cstr(cdate(vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal)) then
response.write "<BR>Inside if___This is the result using actulal operator: "&eval(vFollowUp >= cstr(cdate(vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal)))&"<BR>"
end if
--------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, I've tried using the "eval()" function as well, I've tried using a case select statements... it seems to be a little something I can't figure out right now.

In the end I'm going to use the operator/variable in a while loop:
--------------------------------------------------------
While eval(cstr(vFollowUp) & cstr(vTest )& cstr(cDate(vStartWeekOnWhatDay))) and not oRS.EOF and not oRS.BOF
--------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, I've been trying multiple routes.

Thanks very much for any help that comes my way.

O.k. since there doesn't seem to be an answer kicking around...

I'll resort to encapsulating the 2-3 scenario's in a if/else statement...

It is just much neater if I can check for the if/else and insert the proper operator >=< (kind of looks like a space ship)

<%
vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal = "03/22/2005"
vFollowUp = "02/22/2005"
vTest = "<="
if eval(vStartWeekOnWhatDayOriginal & vTest & vFollowUp) = true then
    'The condition is true!
    response.Write "Yup, it's true!"
else
    'The condition is false!
    response.Write "Nope, it's false!"
end if
