adding contents of 2 fields

[Howard2002]

what is the syntex to add the contents of 2 fields? I have a memory variable to store the total.

example
field_a + field_b = mvsum
thisform.txtsum.value = mvsum

thisform.txtsum.value = field_a + field_b Attitude is Everything

Hope this helps you ramani

I guess according to Ramani's and danceman's answer the fields are numeric and not character, but just in case they are :

thisform.txtsum.value = VAL(field_a) + VAL(field_b )

Thanks to all I through trial and error found thisto work give me your opinion.

store thisform.txtfieldA.value + thisform.txtfieldB.value TO mvsum
thisform.txtsum.value = mvsum

this is in the find button

Thanks to all

There is no need for the intermediary memory variable, and most vfp programmers avoid typing all the extra characters of the STORE xxx TO yyy command, but, if you're happy, we're happy. It'll work.
