real time computing????

i have two tables linked together.
Table descriptions
table 1 = project particulars (name,date received..etc)
table 2 = project items (name,qty)

i am using queries for my form. one in particular is
to sum the qty from table2.

i have a "textbox" displaying the sum of all the qty from
table 2 (per group or project from table 1)

my question is, is it possible to display or update the
sum of "textbox" as i am keying in project items qty???

what i wanted is lets say, i am keying in figures to qty
field, as soon as i hit 1 or 2 .....
display of sum will be updated that looks like
im directly inputting data on that textbox.....

viewing the encoded records are all ok
but the sum will not be updated or be displayed until i
save the current record and move the record pointer prev
or next...

can anybody figure out if this is possible??

TIA

Probably you need to do a Requery of the form's record source query after
you enter data. You don't provide enough info about your form's properties
and setup, though, for someone to suggest more specific answer. If you can
provide more info, we may be able to help more.
