I do have a response.write Post_comment line and the result is empty Also
as a test I changed my is statement to read:
IF Post_1st_Ref_value <> ref_ID_num_value THEN (replaced = with <>) When
I did that, it did write the word "posted so again all indication are my IF
statement is not executing correctly, but why?
