Set your unbound textbox Control Source to the following:

=iif([txtNoOfCases] > 0, [txtNoOfErrors]/[txtNoOfCases], 0)

Subject: [AccessD] Access #Num! When Calculating A Field


To all,
 
I have two bound fields on a form (txtNoOfCases & txtNoOfErrors), I then
have an unbound textbox set to Percent with the control source being 
 
=[txtNoOfErrors]/[txtNoOfCases]
 
But when you first open the form the unbound textbox has #Num! in it until
you enter a value in either of the two fields.  How can I make the unbound
textbox say 0.00 instead of #Num! until data is entered ?
 
Thanks in advance for you help.
