Re: Equation solving from VFP

Thank you Johan but your proposal won't work as it is because (i) the variables Ca, Cb, Va, Ka, Kb and Kw have not been specified (trivial to fix), (ii) VbCalc has not been specified and I am not sure what you intend it to be and (iii) even if I specify a value for VbCalc the line WHILE needs

You can do it with binaray intersect. Vb = 10 HLow:= 0 HHigh=1 H=(HHigh + HLow) / 2 WHILE Abs(VbCalc = Vb - Va*[(Ca/(1 + H/Ka) - H + Kw/H)/(Cb/(1 + Kw⁄ (H*Kb)) + H - Kw/H)]) > 0.0005   IF VbCalc < Vb     HLow=H   ELSE     HHigh=H   ENDIF   H=(HHigh + HLow) / 2 ENDDO HTH Johan Nel South

Thanks Alan I could certainly do that and I already have a workbook set up but I would prefer a non-automation method if possible. Paul On 14/12/2022 09:10, Alan Bourke wrote: Thinking aloud, if you could guarantee 32-bit Excel was available you could probably use Excel automation to do

Thinking aloud, if you could guarantee 32-bit Excel was available you could probably use Excel automation to do it, i.e. Create a Workbook programmatically Fill defined cells with your input values Do a Goal Seek with result in a defined cell Read that value back to VFP.

I have the following equation Vb = Va*[(Ca/(1 + H/Ka) - H + Kw/H)/(Cb/(1 + Kw⁄ (H*Kb)) + H - Kw/H)] Va, Ca, Ka, Cb, Kb and Kw are known or can be provided for any given "run" of the calculation.  Typical values might be Va = 10, Ca = 0.1, Ka = 1.8E-5, Cb = 0.1, Kb = 0.63, Kw = 1.0E-14 The
