if / then with OR in the list not working?

Thanks much. I'm surprised there isn't a less "wordy" way to write that.

I appreciate the help - it works perfectly.

I assume that you mean to do the following (in pseudo code):
if session value = 1768 or session value = 1919 or session value = 188 or session value = 566 then

If that is the case, then yes it is your syntax. It looks like you're using ASP VBScript, in that case to do what you want you'd need to do this:
<% if Session("svUserID") = 1768 or Session("svUserID") = 1919 or Session("svUserID") = 188 or Session("svUserID") = 566 then %>
