Calculator

Does anyone know of any calculator add-ins, formulas, scripts?  I want a button or something in a form where the user could perform weight conversions. And if that's not possible what code would I use to bring up Window's Calculator?  Thanks.

you can always make your own calculator.
It's not necessary, I believe that it's a flashy one.
So jou must just make one number-field editable, and one dialog list or something like that with possible conversions.
It's not difficult.

If you dont't know how to do that just let us know

Try this straight from Notes help:

The following example is specific to Windows:
' Start the Windows Calculator as a normal (not minimized)
' window with focus.
Dim taskId As Integer
taskId% = Shell("CALC.EXE", 1)

In response to sloeber, if at all possible I like to make my own calculator, but I am not sure how.  We only use gallons, grams, kilograms and pounds.  I would need the calculator to do this:  If contracts are made where the contract price is either per pound or per gallon, I would need to be able to calculate the quantity ordered in either gallons,grams, kilograms or pounds. Does that make sense?
