Hello,  
Will this IF clause work?

if [field\_A] == "aaa" and ( [field\_B] == "bbb" or [field\_C] == "ccc")  
{  
...  
}

Documentation tells me I can run a complex IF clause, but looking for examples I found none.  
I don't have a simple way to test, so trying here.

Best,  
JD

Yes, that'll work.
