Yeah, it's incredibly easy to figure out with the reduced equation that was posted earlier...thanks, btw :thumb: ...it's just a really complicated way of multiplying your first 3 digits by 10,000 to give you a normal seven-digit number, then adding your last 4 digits to override the four zeroes.

Actually Kim , you can make it work with any number of digits , if it's 8 numbers add another 0 to 80 or 250 , two zero's if there are nine numbers , 3 if there are ten , etc. etc. Just have to change it up a little .

I know, I feel shame :oops: .
Actually I was just referring to the formula without any of the adjustments you mentioned..but yes you're right :wink:
