thanks for the replies guys,
i was wondering if i could use $calc to do that . now i have one final question on this..
$min( minutes )
the mins in red, does that need to a numeric value or can be in a var? because in the dialog i'm using it sets the # of delay mins. i know that might sound dumb to some, but the questions does it have to actual number like:$min(10), or will the variable name suffice since the %var represents a numer vaule?
