Use Command Buttons to add text to Textbox

[HotelierDream]

Hello All,

So I would like to create a calulator form in my DB. (I know I could create a command button to open windows calulator but my client is very specific) I am starting our but making my buttons. How would I program the buttons to add text to the textbox without deleting what is currently in the textbox.

In Example:

If I press the command button 1 I want the textbox to display 1


If I then press the command button + I want the text box to display 1+ and so on...

Also, anyone have a idea on how to use a command button to evaluate a equation in a textbox and display the result in said textbox? I would think I would use a vba code to make the equation a tempvar and then find the solution to the tempvar and make tempvar2 and finally make textbox1 = Tempvar2 .

you would just keep concatenating the strings

me.MyTextBox = me.MyTextbox & me.MyButtonValue



here's a tutorial on making a calculator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5vsqWPdiLE
