Change Entry to a nagative Value

[jboyle]

I have text box that the user enters a quantity. I want this value to always be a nagative value and I do not want to rely on the user entering the minus sign. Is there a way that the user can enter the value of 100 and after update use code to change the value to -100 ???
Thanks in advance - john Boyle

why not try

if me.quantity > 0 then
me.quantity = -me.quantity
end if

Thanks FMM, your code performs exactly as I was hoping for.

Another way:

me.quantity = -(ABS(me.quantity))
