"Do while not"

[Roger Marrs]

I am trying to figure out how to modify a routine that uses Do While Not.
The issue I'm dealing with is that Do While Not checks the validity of the
value contained in a bookmark against a mask. However, I need to accomodate
more than one mask.

For example:
Do While Not (CaseNumber Like "####-[A-Z][A-Z]-######-*")
OR
Do While Not (CaseNumber Like "####-[A-Z][A-Z]-######-A")

The solution is probably very simple, and I'm trying make it too difficult.

If it is really the content of a bookmark that you are testing against, as a
bookmark can only appear once in a document, it seems to me that and
If...Then...Else If...Then...End If construction would be more appropriate.

Thanks Doug. It really is a bookmark that I'm testing against and I think
your suggested solution will work. I was trying to figure out an
If...Then.... Else in conjunction with the Do While Not... and was getting
nowhere.
