How to enter a value in a field to be calculated and stored

[Won Mee]

I want to enter a value in a field and for that value that was entered
to be multiplyed by 10 and then stored in a table. How do I do this?

For example:

[testCalc]=[testCalc]*10;

Thanks,
Won Mee

Use an event to trigger the update, either a button click, or the after
update event of the field, then use a recordset to add the data to the
table.

Something like.....

Private sub Yourfield_After Update()

dim db as database
dim rs as recordset
set db=current.Db
set rs=db.OpenRecor dset("yourtable name",dbOpenDyn aset)

with rs
..addnew
!TableField = Your field * 10
..update
end with
set rs=nothing
set db=nothing

end sub

Probably easier ways too.

Why would you wish to save it?
Save the underlying value.
Once you have the [testcalc] value stored in your table, any time you
need the [testCalc]*10 calculated, simply calculate it.

need the [testCalc]*10 calculated, simply calculate it, in a form,
query, or report.
