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.

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.
