Math calculation

A

Andy

I'm using a form in FP to update an Access database. One
of the fields is for qty. What I'd like to do is to allow
the user to enter a new number in another form field and
have it automatically subtracted from the qty. field. Is
there a way to do calculations in FP that will accomplish
this and update the database, or do I need to do it on the
Access side?

Any input appreciated.

FrontPage doesn't have any built-in features for this kind
of thing. Typically, you would write an ASP or ASP.NET
page to satisfy this type of requirement.
