Well, I slept on it but it didn't do any good. It's JC's fault. This was
working just fine as an unbound form :o)
So I think for each field where I need this capability, I have to use a
popup form triggered by the click event, collect the number from the user as
text and process it.
Any better ideas anyone?
TIA
Rocky

Rocky - it sounds a little strange to me that they can add to a field by
overtyping it with an additional amount (maybe I have misunderstood). Do you
mean that the field might hold eg. 100 and if they type +10 then the result
should be 110? If they just type 10 then it should replace the 100 with the
10?
If that's right then I think I would separate the fields and have the
additional amounts (plus or minus) in a sep. text box. They could still
replace the entire amount by overwriting the original amount.

I need them to be able to either add to or replace the value. This is a
continuous form, BTW.

Rocky - couldn't you assume the + sign as the default? Only subtract IF
they
enter a minus sign?

Dear List:
I have a text box on a sub form bound to a numeric field which contains,
obviously, a numeric quantity.
If the user inputs a value in this box preceded by a '+' or '-' sign, I
want
to add or subtract the value entered from the current value. If they
enter
a value without a preceding sign, I want to replace old the value with
the
input value.
I can obviously see if they entered a minus sign because the number is
negative. But how can I know if they preceded the input value with a
'+'?
