Is there a quick way to convert all existing negative integers to positive integers (ie. -2 to equal 2 etc etc...)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks again,

Use the Abs() function. It will return the Absolute Value of any number passed to it. Meaning, it will have no effect on positive numbers but will change negative numbers to positive values.
