Sharepoint workflow not working

Asked by PACCAST-DEV in MOSS-Sharepoint

My workflow is not working. This question is basically a re-post without some extraneous information from the original post. - http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/MS-SharePoint/Q_23473115.html

My workflow has 4 steps:
step 1  - no condition, have it set to email me, seems to be working
step 2 - condition = project approval, again have it set to email me, seems to be working
step 3, condition = change of list item to status of ""in progress", set to email me and is not working
step 4, condition = change of list item to status of ""completed", set to email me and is not working

When a new item gets created the first 2 steps are occuring and I see the list item gets a "Project Workflow" status of "In Progress". If I then refresh the browser page, it will change the Project Workflow status to "completed", and the other steps never get run. Seems the documentation said that if a step does not have any "true" conditions, then it move on to the next step, is this true? If so how can you make the workflow stop at a particular step UNTIL the condition becomes true and THEN move on to the next step.

thanks.
