wow.. that works perfect. thanks for the help. jeff

yea.. the default value for my post is 2 as well. Its just I have to change the mi1 value for the first operation only to get the correct NC. If I change the 2nd or other operation it will not give me the correct NC. Anyway, thanks for the help I think I have to manually change it for every job.
