I have several calculations which i have built into my form. Everything is working on the form, the calc. are coming out correctly but when i run a query with the variable i created the calcution in, nothing is showing up. why is this?? the calcuation doesn't show up in my table either, only on my form.

Try putting your calculation in your query instead of an unbound box on the form, then just create a bound box to this new field on your query. If the calculation is too large/complicated, you can stick it in a module.

HTH,
