Form - Unbound field?

[teastrainer]

I'm following a tutorial at the moment and I'm a little bit stuck trying to replicate a form. I want to add an area that's not on the field list

Here's theirs -

Here's mine -

Here's the field list (without the sub total property) -

I'm not sure whether I'm meant to just add rectangles and enter text into them? Doesn't seem like a god way of doing it though.

cheers

The most common way to update the unbound boxes would be to create an AfterUpdate event for the associated UnitPrice and Quantity. Eg. for PartName1, the sub for the txtTotal1 would be computed by entering

txtTotal1 = UnitPrice1 * Quantity1

in both UnitPrice1_AfterUpdate and the Quantity1_AfterUpdate Subs.

Thanks for the response J - OK, so this is the formula to make the Sub Total the Sum of Unit Price times Quantity

I'm a step or two back from here though

I'm not sure how to get the actual part that say's 'Subtotal' onto my form. The other part's have been created by dragging them in from the fields list, "Subtotal" isn't in the fields list.

What's the best way to get this? I'm guessing that I don't just draw rectangles on.
