I have a form bound to my table and a subform for a related table. The main
form contains two calculated controls TotalPaid and BalanceDue. These
controls are unbound and are calculated based on the contents of the subform
and other controls on the main form. I'd like the contents of these two
controls to go into hidden bound controls to populate columns in the main
table. My question is what event to do this in. The control source for the
calculated controls is set in the Current Event. Would the BeforeUpdate event
be the one?
Yes, I know its not correct to have calculated values in my table but that
is the way it was designed and I cannot change it. Thanks.
