I am trying to populate a label (unbound) with the result of one label divided by another (both ado bound). My form has 8 tabs and generally this field is calculated when the user clicks on the tab which the calculated field is display on. The problem is if the user stays on that tab and moves through the recordset, the calculated field is not recalculated on each new record - it stays the same as the first record until the user clicks on a different tab and that back to that one again.

Any suggestions?
 

Put the calculation in a function proceedure and call it from the Validate event of those textboxes which are used for the values in the calculation it self.

They are labels, not text boxes, so there is no validation event. I had to use labels because I actually reached the maximum number of controls on a form. Therefore I had to create arrays for the labels so I could fit everything on one form.
 
Then check out the ADO MoveComplete event. [/b][/i][/u][sub]*******************************************************
