Complicated but interesting.....Need some thoughts

Thanks guys for your replies. It has surely helped me upto now and I have made the software reliable enough to pick the correct MAX safe weight from the chart. Without the above examples my task would have been much more harder. My next task is to monitor the radius and boom so that the ACTUAL lifted weight stays within the safe parameter. I would appreciate your thoughts on accomplishing this next next task. Please let me know if you need more explanation on this.

Well, If I underestand your question correctly, then just some more code like this would do the job.

IF (Radius < Radius_Min) or (Radius > Radius_Max) then DoSomething
IF (Boom < Boom_Min) or (Boom > Boom_Max) then DoSomethingElse

Robert Thanks, but I do not see this to be this easy because once the radius and boom will change the weight could change drastically from one column to another in some cases. So something which kind of predicts 3-4 steps ahead of the limit being reaching would work better, but can't imagine clearly on how to start something like that.
