I agree w/ Alphonse. You might also want to look closer to the E-Prime Sample tasks. If I recall correctly there is a task with feedback and it runs exactly like what you described below.<br>M.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Google can be your friend ... much pages telling of components of VBA
code, such as conditionals, to achieve syntax allowable. One

<br>
I am a novice at this software and so is my supervisor. I have spent many
weeks reading the manuals but still no help. Maybe you could enlighten
me?<br>
<br>
I am planning on testing 2 groups and need 2 experiments for each
feedback type (positive and negative) with various versions. I only need
the correct answers to appear in the positive group and the incorrect and
no response to be blank. The feedback icon within the E-prime 2.0 was
used as my supervisor strongly suggested I use it but when I did use the
feedback icon on its own without any inline scripting all keypresses (sd=
same/different) were incorrect and all blank or no responses were
correct. <br>
<br>
Now, I am not sure if I should pursue the route of inline script with the
feedback icon or if I should just start over and use a different
method.<br>
<br>
Any helpful comments would be much appreciated at this very moment in
time.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
