I'm a DB Classic user, so I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but it might be worth a go.

Assuming you mean: i=1 so do j=20, j=21, j=22...j=39, j=40 and then i=2 so do j=20, j=21, j=22...j=39, j=40 etc., this might work:



Hope this helps.

becose i want to make 1 for next loop to check at the same time, the i = 1 to 10 and anothere variable j = 30 to 40

is like if you make object cube 1 to 10 and make object sphere 30 to 40 and in 1 for next you want check both, cube and sphere.

zeddex2:

Your method would actually be slower as there are three extra 'If i' conditions each run through the loop and there are 50 loop iterations - of which 30 of them are not required.

If you use the counting variable i directly as in my snippet, your loop only runs through 10 times and there's no need for any If..Thens at all.

Speed might not be an issue now, but if your program gets bigger it may become an issue so it's better to optimize early rather than later...
