Hi Team I am trying to get the syntax right to plot a vertical line on a horizontal "fuel gauge" Fuel gauge looks something like |___|___|___|___| Fuel gauge is made up of 5 vertical lines representing (from L to R) Empty(Minimum), 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and Full (Maximum) With a long line underneath the 5 vertical lines representing the plane User enters 3 values into controls on a form 1 = MIN 2 = MAX 3 = Desired (Is always going to fall somewhere between min and max - handled by data entry rules) The 1st and 2nd values entered indicate what the max and min are to be IE Empty and Full EG Min = 100,000 Eg Max = 300,000 EG "Desired" = 200,000 So I should see (Using the above example) the vertical line indicating "Desired" sit above the Half Full vertical line But so far I am doing something wrong - 'cause when I enter 1 as a min 3 as a max and 2 as desired the vertical line plots perfectly But when I use 100 as min 300 as max and 200 as "desired" I get a slight shift of the "Desired" vertical line to the right And it increases (I think exponetially) as I increase the Min and Max by increments of say...thousands So...Any tips on the logic I should use? Anyone wanna see the demo - lemme know Many thanks in advance Darren
