I need help with a seemingly simple function. I want to be able to enter simple fractions in text boxes on a form and have them add up and display the result as another fraction. Access doesn't have a built in fraction converter like Excel. ie, 3/4 + 1/8 + 5/16 = ???

Thanks much
Cordell

Please don't post the same question multiple times.

Unpack the string with the instr() function and perform the indicated operation.

Cordell please ignore Ilk he's just being his usual superior helpful self Not!
I suspect that nobody in the UK or propably Europe uses fractions anymore so won't have the answers your looking for, howevever out of curiosity I searched the help file and found the answer for a function I've been looking for so in return here's another site that had a fraction related question posted last year not exactly what your looking for but I'm sure they will be able to answer you being US based. http://bbs.elementkjournals.com/bbs/showpost.pl?Board=ima&Number=21977&Search=true&Forum=ima&Words=fractions&Match=Whole&Searchpage=0&Limit=25
