Negative numbers aren't a concern. But I also need to round down in the
same fashion (and would bail out at 0).
Thanks guys,
Marty
Hmm, 0 and negatives aren't handled properly either way, starting to think
the proposed loop method might be the easiest method.

IN CASE YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT, TRY THIS:
put ?? into theValue
repeat with theValue = theValue+1 to theValue +100
IF theValue mod 20 = 0 THEN EXIT REPEAT
end repeat
put theValue

Hi Marty,
Just create a repeat loop that increases or decreases the value by 1
until it reaches a value where mod 20 of the value = 0; then exit the loop
and your value will be divisible by 20. I'll let you code this. This would
be very fast and quite simple.

Let's say I have a numeric field and a button to increase the value and
a button to decrease the value. When I click the increase button, I want it
to increase to the next highest value that is evenly divisible by 20. So if
the field has a value of 19, a click will set the value to 20. If the field
has a value of 121, a click would increase it to 140.
I know I could do it by adding (or subtracting in the case of a
decrease) but is there a more elegant and/or faster way to do that?
Thanks,
