No replies so far, so I had a few minutes spare and tried to recreate this
problem, but couldn’t. No matter what I put into tMins first, even an empty
variable still returned 0, so my suggestion would be to wrap the script in a
try - catch to see what’s going on with the left operand (tMins) during the
equation, something like:
try
put (tMins/60) into tMins
catch tError
if tError then answer "An Error Occurred;" && tError & return & "tMins
=" && tMins
end try
I tried in both versions of LC that you mentioned and saw no problem.
Maybe somebody else will have a better idea.
