But here's what i'm stuck on: Say I have a number in a variable called ywastr(1), like 60, for example. I need to increase it by a percentage (randomly determined earlier in the routine I have finished already). How do I take that integer variable, randomly rolled as the percentage (I know how to get random numbers in VB already), convert it into a percentage for the calculation, then add that percentage of the original number to the original number? (Like the example above, if the number were 60, and the random percentage was 10%, it should add 6 to the number, making it 66). Patient VB coders are welcome to reply. More work and VB assistance may be coming to the one that helps me out with this. Thanks for reading! Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working VB code snippet that completely solves the above problem.

Here is the code snippet: ywastr(1) = ywastr(1) + ywastr(1) * percent / 100 If you wish I could assist you in writing/debugging your VB app (I have 5 years experience with VB) Hope this helps, Alexander Minza Best regards, Alexander Minza           See 1 private reply(ies) to/from AlexanderMinza.
