I would like to use a script to provide calculations from kg to lbs and viceversa

I would like a script that a user can simply double click.
It should prompt them if they want to convert from lbs to kg or kg to lbs.
Depending on what is selected they enter an amount, and then the calculated amount will then be provided for them.

Here is a vbs:

Sub Demo()
    Dim dblAmount
    Dim intMeasurment
    Dim dblResult
    intMeasurment = InputBox("Which measurment would you like to convert from?" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "For ''lbs to kg'' type 1" & vbCrLf & "For ''kg to lbs'' type 2", "Measurment Conversion")
    dblAmount = InputBox("Please enter the weight to convert.", "Measurment Conversion")
    dblResult = (IIf(intMeasurment = 1, dblAmount / 0.4535922921969, dblAmount * 2.204623))
    MsgBox dblResult
End Sub

@joeklimis - Is your script a batch script, Powershell or VBScript?

Hi
this is a Powershell script , wich uses .net forms

just save it into a file and run it in the normal way

@MacroShadow - when trying to run the script nothing happens.

try adding Demo() as the last line to invoke the subroutine, you may not need the ()
