Rob,
Thanks again for the quick feedback.
As you will see from the uploaded files (dbm.zip)- I have already
calculated the command break points (4 of) into a seperate stat
(com1b) which is then accu via the race xx attribute (augment tab).
BTW: I am lucky in that there are 5 accu stats available - I am
already using all five can additional accu stats be added to the "to
do" wish list - in addition to the support for calculations - also it
may be a good hide to add a -show/-hide tag as if to many are
available it will be become to unwieldly to cycle through on the AB
UI - just a thought!
Many thanks again for the help - hoping you can help solve the other
related problems.
Regards
Andy
