    Button Coding

    Hi Guys


    I am new to access programming and stuff I need some help, I have a form created from a table, the form has two text boxes that user will fill in figures which I want when command button is clicked they must add and result displayed at the same time updating actual table.
    So far the code I wrote behind the command button never yielded anything.
    please help

    It is rarely a good idea to store calculated results in a table.

    I know it may sound weird but it is a straight idea, I assume the calculation will only be on form text boxes and that data will save into table as any form entry, just wanna know how to code the textbox1 +textbox2 and have sum displayed.

    The ControlSource of TextBox3 cound be set to:
    =Nz(Me.TextBox1,0)+Nz(Me.TextBox2,0)
    ...to get the calculation to display but it will not save in the RecordSource. You could also do basically the same thing in the RecordSource query and get the result by binding TextBox3 to the calculated field.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
