Good Practice or Bad?

[Jerry Stoner]

A developer where I am contracted to constructs his If statements like this:
If Day(Now()) <> 1 Then DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_06c_Get_CurMon_Rebates"

Instead of like this:
If Day(Now()) <> 1 Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_06c_Get_CurMon_Rebates"
End If

All on one line and no end if needed. I didn't even know that would work.
Is this good or bad practice from a coding standpoint? Any Pitfalls?
Thanks

One line works just fine, I like the END IF version because I find it easier to read, unless it is a short IF.
IF MyFlag then A=12 ' as a short example

Guess you do learn something every day! Thanks

I sometimes use single line IFs when I do not need an Else. Never had a problem with it.

Cool! Thanks

I use the multi-line syntax (probably a left over from my COBOL days) because I find it easier to read. Also, if you have a lot of If's, someone might think that the single line If was part of some other If if they didn't read it closely.
