Hey Everyone,

I'm really need to create a calculation device where the user enters in a weight and height and it then calculates the amount - really simple but need help urgently.

Can anyone point me into the right direction, i'd be very grateful! A tutorial or even a free one would be perfect.

Thanks

George

It's easy enough to assign a variable name to a text field and then multiply them to give a result. Check out input text field in the help files or an online search.

Just one thing confuses me though. What result are you hoping to achieve? You can't multiply a height by a weight because they use completely different units....what's 5' 6'' multiplied by 130.75 kgs? Or 1.83 metres multiplied by 12 stone 5 lbs?
