Yep that's done it. Many thanks.

Access is automatically 'rounding up' numbers as I enter them in my text box on my form. Eg, 11.5 becomes 12. I see that in the Properties of the text box, if I choose 'Currency' then it does not round up, but then it has a currency sign next to the number, which is not applicable in this...

Missinglinq and Bob - it's perfect, it works beautifully. Thank you so much for saving me days of hopeless searching. I will never ever put spaces in my field names again, and I promise always to use the VB editor, in honour of you both! Efharisto para poli, kai filakia, Lisa

It's a calculated field on a form. I've also tried it in a normal field, bound to a query, but still it doesn't allow me to overwrite. Tks.

Hi everyone. I have a calculated field which I would like to be able to over-write the data if applicable. It's a number field which calculates 15% discount on another number field (giving the wholesale price for a product). Some products, however, have more than 15% discount, and I have the...
