Using a Calculator

[DavidW]

Is there a way to use a calculator in a textbox.
I have used QuickBooks Pro for years and there is a nifty little calculator
tool in the quantity section. It uses the normal keyboard commands to
calculate. Does anybody know if this exist in Access?

Hi,

There isnt a calculator in Access as such. Normally if you want o keep a
total field, up to date, you would write some code, to either requery the
calculated value, or perform the calculation. You could place code on the
AfterUpdate even of field 1, or have a command button to do the calculation.


I hope this helps.

Regards

Mark

When I bought Access 2000 Developers Handbook by Litwin, Getz & Gilbert,
there was a calculator form included with the samples on CD.
