Hmm... I may be wrong (after the holiday season :-) but I think you should do 100000 / 63.5 * 260 =~ 409449 > If this result is correct, i already need to change some volumes soon? If you are right - yes. If I am right - no ;-) > I'm right Arno? Thanks for your time!!! I created this query, so I should try to help making it useful, right? :-) Arno > Happy New Year to all!!!
