Simple formula issue...forms
Okay...soooo I have a form (we know this because I have asked a million
questions about it already). I have 3 text/number fields that I need to automatically add together in the forth field/cell...how do I do that!? For example Text68+Text69+Text70 and the answer shows up as the person exits Text70 in Text 71 Any thoughts!? |

Simple formula issue...forms
Text71 should be of the field type calculation. Enter in the expression
field =(Text68+Text69+Text70) If you only want to see the updated result on exit of Text70 then set "calculate on exit" in Text70. You would be better off to set "calculate on exit" for Text68, Text69 and Text70. To make these setting, unprotect the form and double click the formfields. This opens the formfields dialog box. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. "LeahT" wrote in message ...
