Hi there here is a small fragment of code, could someone tell me what the Bolded FALSE statement in the 2nd IF is evaluating please.

If Session("MM_Username") <> "" Then
  If (false Or CStr(Session("MM_UserAuthorization"))="") Or _
     InStr(1,MM_authorizedUsers,Session("MM_UserAuthori zation"))>=1) then
    MM_grantAccess = true
  End If
End If

Many Thanks

First the syntax is incorrect: You are missing a ( in front of Instr.

False is a constant so it always evaluates to False. And, given your boolean conditionals are all OR, it is unnecessary.

Looks like someone put it there in place of some previous conditional test.
