As an aside I would use a local variable so command would look like this c_real($MyNumber_R) $MyNumber_R:=5000000.0 $real:=2*(MAXLONG-$MyNumber_R)
I do this so that 4D does not reset results based upon what it thinks it should do I think it will work even without the .0 Regards Chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 Informed Solutions, Inc.
