i wanted to thank everyone for helping me with my last problem, it completely solved it.

i am re writing the subwoofer program so that instead of each answer being displayed as you go, you do all your inputs, and then all of the answers are displayed.

im having a problem with the dia equation. what it is is that the equation that we are using calls for a different value instead of the standard 10, 12, and 15 inch sizes, and not everyone is going to know what those sizes are.

so is it possible to when you move to that prompt section, to display those three sizes, but the actual value to be used will be ones for that specific equation?

ps i plan to allow anyone that is wanting this program free access to it, so the more you help, the better it will be in actuality, just contact me and when im done ill get it to you.

Thank you so much.

im not sure i undersatand what your asking in this paragraph

what i mean is that the user can choose between the 10, 12, and 15 inch sizes. meaning that there will be a dialog box that pops ups and the user is prompted to choose which size. But in the equation, another value will be used.

For instance, the box pops up, and the user is prompted to select a size, so they select 15, but in the equation, the value used is 30.

does that help?

ok, thanks, much clearer

what you could do is use the popup box
when you use that it pops up a list that you can choose from, for example
1:10
2:12
3:15
when you choose, for example, 2:12, it will save the value as "2" for choice number two, with the "popup" instruction it will always save it as the choice #you select

so what you could do is have

:popup {"10","12","15"},x

then following that you could have something like

:If x=3 Then
:30->x
:ElseIf x=2 Then
:yournumber->x
:ElseIf x=1 Then
:yourothernumber->x
:EndIf

so with a few extra lines, when someone selects 3:15, the value saved is essentially 30

hope that helps!
