Trust me GTO, no one here is closer to a laymen level in VBA programming than me
I think you are 100% correct, I am running it both ways and I can not see any difference in performance.
I thought the fact that my second condition was a pretty complex function that goes through multiple loops and calculations to get a result would slow things down.
Still kinda of curious as how it's really done and if I do undestand it correctly, I wonder why that's done.
That's like saying, my car won't run because it's on fire but I still need to check the tire pressure to see if I can drive it.
By the way, these kinds of threads are what you get when you let engineers with no programming experience run rampant in VBA forums!
