Textbox arithmetic

[LenaS]

I have 3 textboxes on a form. The first (txt1) is displaying a variable (yOldAmt) which contains the calculated sum of several fields. The second (txt2) is a data entry box. The third (txt3) should display the result of txt1-txt2.
Here is basically the code I tried.

yNewAmt = $0.00

yNewAmt = yOldAmt – txt2.value

txt3.value = yNewAmt

thisform.refresh

I am getting an operator/operand mismatch error.

Looks like txt2.value is not numeric.

If Jim is correct, set the initial/default value of txt2.value = 0. Robert Bradley

I suggest you put in - ThisForm.Refresh

WITH THIS.
... any code needed to refresh txt1.Value
...
txt3.Value = txt1.Value - tx2.Value
EndWith
