Hey man, thanks for the info I'll look into that. At the moment the Synchronize function is the main cause of slow down in my application, but until I'm confident that what I'm doing is correct, it's...

I like this line:

WriteLn('The balance is: ',balance:0:0);

Very neat.

Sub Xero

It should be exactly the same. Format returns a string, so there's no difference in applying the result to an Editbox or a label.
What exactly is the problem?

Sub Xero

Use the Format command like this:

VolumeCalc.Caption := Format('%.2f',[StrToFloat(EngineSizeVal.Text) / 2 / StrToFloat(CylNumVal.Text)]);


Sub Xero

Your main problem is 'balance' should be a real type, as multiplying it by 1.03 will return a non integer value. Here's how I'd do it:


program Project1;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
SysUtils;
