Simon, "I'm looking for a stand alone application. It looks like I'll have to do it the hard way…" Building an interpreter for such expressions shouldn't be very difficult. You might give the spreadsheet example in my book a look. It includes code for an expression parser that handles simple formulas. It could be easily extended to handle function calls as well as arithmetic. -rich-
