Half my tests produce the wrong value when I multiply by zero: [math]0*123.45[/math] = 0 -- correct [math]0*123,45[/math] = 45 -- WRONG, should be blank [math]0*123.a[/math] = 0 -- WRONG, should be blank [math]0*abc[/math] = (blank) -- correct [math]0*123[/math] = 0 -- correct [math]0*123 45[/math] = 0 -- WRONG, should be blank I also tried the module operator with similar results. Maybe this should be a considered a bug since [math] should return a blank result if one of the values in the formula is non-numeric. Don't you think? As it is now we can never trust that the values used in a [math] calculation are actually numbers when non-numbers are producing results like 0 or 45. :( Sincerely, Kenneth Grome Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
