Restore a backup from before you began editing.

any help would be appreciated.

If you Export this rule and send it to me, I should be able to help you. Please see PM I just sent you.

On another topic, you don't want to put a minute delay between your IF-THEN and your ELSE-IF statements.

Time between 12:00 AM and 8:30 AM is true between 12:00:00.000 and 8:29:59.999
Time between 8:31 AM and 7:00 PM is true between 8:31:00.000 and 6:59:59.000
Any time between 8:30:00.000 to 8:30:59.999 will satisfy the ELSE statement.

Additionally, I'm not sure how the first nested IF-THEN can even be true. If the time is between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM then it can't also be between 12:00 AM and 8:30 AM. Maybe that was the point of editing this rule, not sure. If not, you may want to take a look at your logic again and perhaps change or simplify this rule.

yeah.. the snapshot is as it is right now, it broke in the middle while I was moving the conditional statements to the appropriate places...

I ended up recreating the rule because the old rule would not even export !
this is what I was trying to get to when the error started showing up.

where is the delay ? There was another thread a while ago that 8:30 (in the end time) is actually 8:30:59 and not 8:30:00 while 8:30 (in start time) is 8:30:00

anyways.. will close this out as I have redone the rule from scratch and removed the old one

If Time IS 8:30 AM then that is true between 8:30:00.000 and 8:30:59.999. That is not the same as Time BETWEEN 12:00 AM and 8:30 AM. Since you're using between bump them right up next to each other, otherwise you have a minute dead spot in your rule.

Time of day: "Time is 8:30 AM" will be True from 8:30:00 until 8:30:59.999
Between two times: "Time between 12:00 AM and 8:30 AM" will be True from 12:00:00.000 until 8:29:59.999
