Adding via a textbox

[Steve]

HYCH

Have a form with 7 Textboxes on ranging from Textbox 1 to textbox 7

Have an 8th textbox that i would like to display the total of all
numbers entered into the textboxes as i go, is this possible?

Did try the following

Textbox8.value = textbox1.value + textbox2.value

This only displayed the numbers i typed i.e.

Textbox1 (entered a '1') and Textbox2 (Entered a '2') the value in
textbox 8 was displayed as 12 rather than 3


Any advice wpuld be appreciated.

Thanks Jim,

did try as you suggested, this only worked once the data has been
entered, was hoping to have the total update as i entered values into
the textboxes as i went.

Thanx again

What event(s) are you using to update Textbox8? To get a realtime update
you'd have to attach this code to the change event of the 7 other textboxes.

A simplified example:

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
UpdateTotal
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox2_Change()
UpdateTotal
End Sub

Sub UpdateTotal()
TextBox3.Value = Val(TextBox1.Value) + Val(TextBox2.Value)
End Sub
