What the code looks like right now is this

if button1 == 1 & microswitch1 = 0
  Relay Forward
else if button2 == 1 & microswitch2 = 0
  Relay Reverse
else
  Relay Off

Any suggestions?

int dir=0;//at the top
...
loop//your while loop
..
if (button1 ==1 && !(microswitch1==1))//if button1 pressed and microsw ! pressed
dir=1;
else if (button2==1 && !(microswitch2==1))//if button2 pressed and microsw ! pressed
dir=-1;
else if (microswitch1 ==1 || microswitch2 ==1)//if microsw pressed
dir=0;
//otherwise do nothing to the value
relay.Set((float)dir);//set the new (or old )value
...
end loop
