Thanks for that. I think I see where you're going with that, but I would like the SFPM number to not appear in the 1st tab where the operator enters his variables. There are only two variables: metal alloy designation, and the diameter of the proposed cutting tool.

So...although I appreciate your input, I still need a way to associate a number with a given metal alloy designation.

Thanks...
