Here is 2 problems I'm having (god is this embarassing!) 1. when I try to divide "taxPercent/100" it's value turns out to be "0" (I'm dividing a whole # such as 6 by 100 to get .06) 2. How do I get a variable to contain a name? (I'm trying to get a name as a variable, is this possible?) I'll explain what I'm doing in #2 better: I'm using... int yourName; but when the person enters his/her name it only shows the first letter of that persons name and also it will end the program without letting you enter the other variables in. Please help me!!!!!! thankyou so very much and please do not laugh at my ignorence! -- ----------------------------------------------------- Go visit the United Fighters clan now! http://unitedfighters.hypermart.net
