    I have two Fields one is for weight in kilograms and the second Field is for Pounds, what I am trying to do is when I enter the weight in the first Field in kilograms it automatically convert it to Pounds in the second Field.

    You only need one field in the table for weight. If you store the Kgs weight in the table then the Pounds should be be calculated as and when required because the pounds is a calculated value and calculated values like this should not be saved.
    If you need to see the pounds in a form you should have a control bound to the kgs field. The control that displays the pounds value should have an expression as its control source. Something like:
    =[NameOfKgsControl]/2.20462
