Transfering INformation from an unbound textbox

[internintrouble]

I understand that to do a calculation in a form, you need to start with an unbound text box to put in calculation code, apposed to using a table or query in your control source.

All text boxes are blank, waiting for the users to input the information they need to record for their own purposes

Once the calculations of SPACE A and SPACE B is totaled in SPACE C, how can I set up SPACE C to also be recorded into the main table for the Form just as SPACE A and SPACE B do?

Hi,

you shouldn't be storing the calculation in your table. what you can do is to create your calculated field in a query i.e. go to the design view of the query and put something like:

Calculation: SpaceA + SpaceB
