Hi Mazel,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am not using the Megawizard to create lpm functions. I am importing them raw from the Quartus II menu and then I try to configure the parameters of each function.

The attached pictures shows the different tabs of the menu I get when I double click either on the LPM function block or on its Parameter's white box.

As you can see in the image "Setting of LPM Counter - Parameters.JPG", the Value box for the parameter WIDTH has a button for the pull down menu. I can key in values, but it will only take those that are already on the pull down list. Anything else I key in is ignored.

I am also attaching an image of the box I get when I click on the About tab of the Quartus II software, just to let you know what version of the software I am running.

Since you are able to modify the parameters at will and I am not, it could be that I have some different settings in my software or libraries.

I will welcome and try any ideas you could suggest me.

Thank you in advance
