The math is not even an issue. That is always right. It's the display that is causing us grief. Could you post your code that changes the screen. Our code is this long winded thing. I should tell you that our code actually does three things. 1. displays pounds and oz in two text boxes one for pounds and one for oz 2. displays kilos if greater than 1000g 3. displays grams if not a kilo. Maybe not the code but the approach? -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
