I am using VB6 to create a program for a gross pay calculator. I am trying to find code so it will work. right now i have : BasePay = Rate * Hours OverTimePay = ((Hours.Text - 40) * 1.5) * Rate Gross.Text = (BasePay + OverTimePay) However, it seems that, no matter what, it always subtracts 40 hrs, and multiplies it by 1.5. This is only the second program i have created. NEED HELP PLEASE!

The way you have written the code that what it will do. Functions inside parentheses are evaluated first working outward so that functions with without parentheses are evaluated last. So the way you have written the code, 40 is subtracted from hours. The result of that is multiplied by 1.5. The result of that is then multiplied by rate. What is it you want it to do? Stuart

Thanks for the quick response. I ended up using a if else decision thingy. I put If Hours.Text > 40 Then Gross.Text = 40 * Rate.Text + (Hours.Text - 40) * 1.5 * Rate.Text Else Gross.Text = Hours.Text * Rate.Text End If This gave me the proper result.
