Hi Thomas, :)
Is there any way you could change the calculations to use the 'Property Name' instead of the 'Property Caption'.

The reason I ask is I keep getting errors when trying to make calculations that are too long. Now I can shorten the name, but the caption would be harder to change to something short.

So instead of costofcoffee+costofwater , I can make it cost1+cost2 and so on.

It seems to me it should be that way anyhow because we can change the caption, but we cant change the name.

I will take a look at the calcs to see why they you are getting an error for being too long.

Size shouldn't matter. :D

That would be much appreciated. I am using currency calculations if you were wondering, about 8 in a row, all being added with a +.
