I have created a form and i have a several contols bound to fields in a
table. I want a control to add values from two controls and update a feild
the table with that value. How do you do this? Your help is greatly
appreciated!
 
Normally (most situations), one would not store a calculated value (e.g.,
the sum of the values from two other fields in the table). So I will "query"
gently about why you want to do this.

Also, is this field that is to get the sum in the same table as the other
two fields?
 
I am creating a suedo accounts recievable list (does that make sense?) I want
the different payment feilds to add up and be placed in a balance field. The
feild is in the same table as the other feilds. Thanks for yoru help!
 
thanks for your help. I decided to delete the "balance" feild and just have a
calculated control on the forms and reports.. It is much easier that way!
Thanks
 
This is a good decision.... in most cases, calculating is better and more
accurate -- one less thing to remember to update!
