Hey, Lou and Herman. I appreciate your help. It has gotten way over
my capabilities. I read the help files on VBscripting, 2 times, and
didn't understand a word of it. If anyone figures it out, please e-
mail me as I don't watch this site reglarly. Thanks, Terry

actually append a section of code containing AFL functions to a prior
line of code. The code to be appended is:

know how to call the LinRegSlope() function from VBScript. Also,
the "3" in "Min(ref(L,3) etc" needs to be incremented. In earlier e-
mails there was a "work-around" for loops done in AFL but I cannot
find them (tried searching Yahoo and got every e-mail ever written).
So, it boils down to being able to do a loop in AFL or coding the AFL
function in VBScript but again, I don't know the formula for
LinRegSlope so am stopped both ways. If I remember correctly, AFL
functions can be called from "objects" in VBScript but that will take
some more reading to verify and learn how to do it. Kind of an
interesting problem and an important 'next step' for me. Let us know
if you have any further thoughts on it.
