I have a form with three text boxes on it. I want the third text box
to show the total of the values in the other two text boxes.
The first box is named: BoxOne and I type the number 2 into it
The second box is named: BoxTwo and I type the number 3 into it
If the third box is named: TotalBox
and the control source for the TotalBox reads, =([BoxOne]+[BoxTwo])
the value in the total box is 23, not 5
It just places the two separate values side-by-side in the totalbox.
If I use =([BoxOne]*[BoxTwo])
then I get 6 (two TIMES three) I tried using sum in various ways
but I just got error messages. Can anyone help with this.
5  7650 
"+" is both an arithmetic and a string operator. As a string operator, it
concatenates the two values. This is what you are seeing! Access thinks Box1 and
Box2 in the expression in the control source are both strings so it concatenates
to get 23. Format Box1 and Box2 as number and you will get the arithmetic
operation you want in the TotalBox.

Access is treating the entries as though they were Text, not numbers.
Set the Format property of each of the controls to General Number (or
any of the other Number Formats, i.e. Fixed, Standard, etc.).

Sounds like you have either the fields in the table or the boxes on
the form set to text and not number. rc*********@yah oo.com (RC) wrote in message news:<3c******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>... I have a form with three text boxes on it. I want the third text box

THANK YOU! Thank You, Thank You. I wasted so much time on this one.
I was sure the syntax to get the total was correct, that's why I kept
trying. I finally gave up and asked you all. I set the Format
property for the text box to General Number and everthing was fine.
Thank all of you so much for the help, now I can move on instead of
being stuck. ma********@yaho o.co.uk (Charlie) wrote in message news:<42******* *************** ***@posting.goo gle.com>... Sounds like you have either the fields in the table or the boxes on

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
