VBA Syntax Error If string variable equals "a" or "b" or "c"

Question

I'm trying to write code that does the following in VBA but i get error: Type mismatch

Quark is a string variable

 If quark = "F" Or "DE" Or "ED" Then

Answer 1

Each "OR" is its own boolean statement.

If quark = "F" Or quark ="DE" Or quark ="ED" Then

You could acheive what you are trying to do with a case though I think

Select Case quark 
Case "F","DE","ED" 
     stuffHere
end select

EDIT: I see that you were getting a type mismatch, did you dim quark as a string?

dim quark as string

Answer 2

You may try like to compare like this:-

If quark = "F" Or quark = "DE" Or quark = "ED" Then

instead of:-

If quark = "F" Or "DE" Or "ED" Then
