Hi paranova9,

A quick search of these forums for: factorial

http://www.mjtnet.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... =factorial

...found the post at the above link. You'll find a way to do it there.

Take care

i saw that page b4 I posted, tried it, couldn't get it to work. no bother though, i wrote my own subroutine to do the job. still just hoping there is an easier way. seems quite strange to need to do all this for a fairly common mathematical function

Great to hear you wrote your own that worked... and I take it its just MS code without VBScript?

Could you please post it here in case others might have a similar need?

Thanks and take care

Try this. It should work for you.

Code: Select all

VBSTART
  function factorial(N)
  if N = 0 then
    factorial = 1
    exit function
  end if
  factorial = N * factorial(N-1)
end function
VBEND
