Hi. I wanted to create a calculator with ms access that works both on click and when pressing the key on keyboard and I have no idea on how to. Can you show me or send a video please?

Creating a calculator in Access is likely to be a lot of work and require a good knowledge of VBA coding.
But why reinvent the wheel?
I suggest that you instead use code to open the built-in Windows calculator from Access - Call Shell("CALC.EXE", 1)

Hi Elias.
The short answer to your question is "No. We cannot." Doing your work for you is not what Bytes.com is about or for. We are happy to assist you in developing your own solutions, and sometimes we can point you to somewhere that should be helpful for you. We do not though, simply perform requests for work. Even if we wanted to the site rules forbid it, as we're here to help and doing it for you only encourages you not to do any work for yourself.
While my fellow moderator isladogs has already pointed out that doing this within Access is fairly pointless, we would be happy to help you through developing such a project if you still feel you'd like to. The process itself could be helpful as you'd learn about handling various Events and other management of Forms.
Let us know if you plan to proceed by telling us what you've already tried and where you've got stuck.
Otherwise, of course, isladogs' suggestion is a very simple and effective one ;-)

I have attached a Demo for you straight out of the Access 2002 Developers Handbook, IMHO one of the best references ever created for Microsoft Access. It demonstrates a fully functional, purely Access based Calculator (Mouse & Keyboard activated) and consists of only a single Form (frmCalc) and Standard Code Module (basCalc). All extraneous Objects have been removed. It is rather simplistic, but an excellent starting point for you to learn how this can be done. It also can easily be expanded to include additional, more complex, functionality. The Code may be a little tough to process for a beginner but give it a try and be patient. Should you have any questions, we are here to help.
P.S. - I did get prior authorization from my old pal NeoPa to Upload this Demo.

Hi,
In part of my application the user may need to do a simple arithmetic
calculation in order to get the value to put in a text box. I was thinking
that it would be good if I could display the Windows calculator and then put
the result in the textbox for the user. Additionally, I'd like to keep the
text of the calculation - if possible.
Is any of this possible? How would I go about it?

Firstly, I know NOTHING about Javascript I'm afraid, so I'm hoping that
someone will be able to point me to a ready-made solution to my

A friend of mine (honest!) is wanting to have on his site, a Javascript
Calculator for working out the cost of what they want, for example:
1 widget and 2 widglets = £5.00

This was originally just a calculator without a decimal point. After I added the decimal, it now tells me invalid second number.

This is a very primative code of a java swing calculator. I have assigned all the number buttons and the operator buttons and I can add, subtract, multiply, and divide two numbers together. However, my teacher wants the operators to follow the algebraic order of operations by chaining multiple operations. Such as, 7 + 4 * 2= 15. The operatorListener is the ActionListener for the operator buttons. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Have any of you ever used a Reverse Polish Notation calculator? I did in high school. It was easily the best calculator ever (the HP=32SII). RPN is great, because you don't have to use parenthesis. The stack and the order in which you key the operators maintains order of operations.
Today, I'll walk you through creating one. Note this tutorial is technically for Silverlight, but except for the marked sections, it can be applied wholesale to...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
