Using variables in templates

[DRJ]

I added it to global start, I tried a few others but was just guessing at that point.

I want it in the header.

If I do VB:Raw I can get the value no problem.

But if I do $Var, I get just the text.

The issue being I want to be able to use an If Statement.

Basically this is for ads and I have a variable saying what type it is, 1 for flash, 2 for image. Before I had an If conditional and based on that variable I could play the flash or add a hyperlink for the image.

But can't seem to get the syntax right for using the variable in the If statement.

Thanks
