I have a calculated control on a form with the control source
expression:
=(contractprice([yield],[r1],[p1],[r2],[p2)*[area] (where r1, p1, r2,
p2, yield and area are entered into the form).

I want it to calculate the contract value where there are two levels
of price for the first 6 tonnes/ha the price is p1 and the for the
next X tonnes it is at a price p2.
I change the above expression (as it doesn't give the right answer) to
=contractprice(([r1]*[p1])+ (([yield]-[r1])*p2)*[area]

But I have two problems, as soon as I close the properties on the box
the expression goes back to the original expression.
Why can't I change it?
What is wrong with my edited expression?
What does the orignal 'expression' do anyway?

thanks in advance for any clues it is driving me wild.

Hi,


The new expression is missing a closing parenthesis.
