Change Text Parameter

Hi,
probably a simple one, but I can't get my object's text parameter to update based on a user selection.

I have a text parameter (adb) and have created a selection list using another text parameter (size)

My code, placed in the Master Script, is:

s1 = '20 Litre'
s2 = '70 Litre'
s3 = '90 Litre'
s4 = '100 Litre'
s5 = '120 Litre'

VALUES 'size' s1, s2, s3, s4, s5

IF (size = s1) THEN
	A = 0.22
	B = 0.35
	ZZYZX = 0.575
	adb = 'HOL004'
ENDIF

IF (size = s2) THEN
	A = 0.41
	B = 0.44
	ZZYZX = 0.81
	adb = 'HOL005'
ENDIF

etc

LOCK 'adb'

Although the object's dimensions change correctly, the locked text parameter does not. Any ideas?

Thanks, Derek
