IF display not working

I am using classic ASP / javascript

I have the following lines:

<% if ((Permissions.SecBillingedit)== "True") { %>

VALUE

<% } // end Permissions.EOF && Permissions.BOF %>

It should display the value when 'secbillingedit' is equal to "True", but it doesnt. What is wrong ?

If I display the value of the field in on my screen I get "True" ... so not sure what may be wrong.

The <% and %> should be around the entire if statement, not each line.

Did not work. Nothing is displayed. It shoud compare and make sure the boolean value is '1' .. in the database it shows '1', but when displayed on the ASP page it shows "True"

The logic is correct, the 'value' or code I want to display is still not being displayed.

This is the complete code :

<% if ((Permissions.SecBillingedit)== "1") { %>

<a href="BillingItemsEdit.asp?ItemId=<%=(BillingItems.Fields.Item("Id").Value)%>&caseid=<%=(Casesjoin.Fields.Item("Id").Value)%>"><img src="../../Images/iedit.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>

<% } // end Permissions.EOF && Permissions.BOF %>

I have tried and doesnt work with:

<% if ((Permissions.SecBillingedit)== "1") { %>
<% if ((Permissions.SecBillingedit)== "True") { %>
<% if ((Permissions.SecBillingedit)== '1') { %>
<% if ((Permissions.SecBillingedit)== 'True') { %>

Tried that, no go. Nothing is displayed.

Close enough, this worked:

<% if (Permissions('SecBillingedit')== "1") { %>
