Variables don't seem to be updating

[Tyler]

Thank you Susan.

Moving the declarations to the User tab in the Script window solved my
issue with trialCount not incrementing - now it's working as it
should. I've also figured out a solution to my other variables not
updating. I simply took ratingPrevious = c.GetAttrib("Rating") out of
the If statement and moved it further down in my procedure (after it
grabs the first rating) and voila! It updates and now ratingRepeat
works too!


Cheers,
Tyler
