    Box gets value from operations of other box.

    I have three box on my form, say

    AMT1, AMT2, Total.

    AMT1 is a field for input
    AMT2 is a field for input


    Total field should automatically be AMT1 + amt2.


    How should I go about in the total field? thank you.

    Also look at this attachment. I took a different approach and used the table as the record source for the form. Look at the form in design view.

    Both ideas work and their use depends upon your preference.
