Question

I currently have one record (with various values) and three user constants with specific assigned values (e.g. names, etc.).

I can compare an edit box against one user like this:

if edit1.text = user1 
 then xxxx

This is all well, but how do I specify that the edit box must check between the three different users?

Example:

if edit1.text = user1 to user3
 then xxxx

How Do I go about doing this?

Delphi doesn’t support the use of strings in case statements so you have to do it the hard way.

 if ((user1.name = edit1.text) and (user1.surname = edit2.text)) or 
    ((user2.name = edit1.text) and (user2.surname = edit2.text)) or 
    ((user3.name = edit1.text) and (user3.surname = edit2.text)) 
   then xxxx
