Question

I have a textbox in a form that I created.

I want to add an expression in the textbox’s Control Source property.
I also want to bind the textbox to a field in the table using Control Source propety of the textbox.

Is there any way I can add a field name and an expression in the control source property of a particular textbox?

The expression basically adds up couple of numbers and displays the output in that textbox. And I want the output to be stored in a field in the table.

Answer 1

You could link the text box to the table control source and then set the value of the text box to the result of the expression in the AfterUpdate property on the two objects the contain the values you want to add.

For example

me.textbox.value= int1 + int2

This value should then be written to the table.
