Set the form field properties as number with the dollar format set in the
number format section.
In addition set the calculate on exit check box in the last of the three
fields.
Add a fourth field and set its properties as a calculation field and set the
calculation as =Text1 + Text2 + Text3 and again the number format as the
dollar format. Lock the form and when you tab out of the third field the
fourth will display the required calculation.
