correct answer depending on "group" startup information

[Tobi]

Thank you,

that works fine. Unfortunately, in my real experiment (this example
was kept simple due to comprehensiveness) I don't have 2 lines in my
list but 640. I guess there is an easier way than using 640*2 lines in
this InLine. If I understand correctly, "List1.SetAttrib 1" changes
the first line in the list and "List1.SetAttrib 2" changes the second
line.

That means, that the CorrAns value is replaced (see http://chilion.com/probl1.JPG
) no matter if [yes] or [no] was specified. In fact in my real
experiment I also have only two variables. Easiest would be to change
[yes] to let's say "D" and [no] to "F" if c.GetAttrib("group") = 1 and
the other way round if it's 2.

Is that possible?

Thanks already in advance!

Cheers,
Tobias
