you need to put the *1.0 in parentheses with one of the Val() expressions (actually, you really only need to use the parenthesis with the second Val() but i find expressions easier to read when i don't even have to think about 'implied' order of operations)

right now, MMF is doing the division before the multiplication (i think it always does division before multiplication), so while you still get a float in the end, you really need that float BEFORE you divide

Thanks for that help,
Here is another problem ( I am really sorry about asking so many questions)

Val(Edittext$( "Force" ))*1.0/Val(Edittext$( "Mass" ))
Force = 0.25
Mass = 0.25
Answer = 1
Actual answer 0.625

Whats going on?

0.25 / 0.25 is 1, not 0.625...

Oh dear god, it was right :D

0.25 / 0.25 is 1
0.25 * 0.25 is 0.0625
