Well I'll be damned.  That actually works.  Someone is either an algebra
genius or has a lot of time on their hands :P lol, nice work there tho.
That really simplies the equation.

Chuck,

Starting out with :

( ( FieldA - 1 ) / FieldA ) * 100

Then a little algebra:

( ( FieldA / FieldA ) - ( 1 / FieldA ) ) * 100
( 1 - ( 1 / FieldA ) ) * 100

to end up with:

100 - ( 100 / FieldA)

Paul
