First thanks for the quick repsonse to my question. In testing the solution provided [thanks mike bobak] below, I find that if I create a multifield with numeric values it works. In reading the doc, max requires numeric values. However, my multifield is numeric values represented as a string. How do I change a string multifield to a numeric multifield? Must I explode the string multifield and then create a new multifield, casting the value as a float [will this satisfy the numeric requirement?]. Thanks in advance. Jeff Ruff ChipData
