Quite often I want two integers, "lo" and "hi", where the user cannot set lo to have a greater value than hi. I have come up with a patcher that works, but it is likely needlessly complex. Just wondering if there is a better way.

You can set it up going both ways. The highest low is always lower than the highest high. The lowest low is always lower than the lowest high.

Both are more elegant than what I had. Thanks! My background in programming sometimes hinders me in Max.

Though I still needed to set the maximum possible value in the same way as in my original patch.

You can set the initial max values for the number boxes in the object inspector or you can auto bang the value when the patch first loads with [loadbang]. Double clicking loadbang manually triggers it again.
