addition in text boxes

[Kirt84]

I have three text boxes Qty1, Qty2 and Qty3.

I used the following expression to calculate (add) the values in the text
boxes

=[Qty1]+[Qty2]+[Qty3]

But they don't add up they just have each individual number in the total
text box.

Sounds as though they're bsing treated as text.

Try:

=CLng(Nz([Qty1], 0)+CLng(Nz([Qty2], 0))+CLng(Nz([Qty3], 0))

Hi Doug

Thanks for the help but this is still not calculating. With the expression u
recommended nothing is appearing in the text box.

Try:

=CLng(Nz([Qty1], 0)+CLng(Nz([Qty2], 0))+CLng(Nz([Qty3], 0))

What are [Qty1], [Qty2] and [Qty3]? If they're controls on the form, try use
Me![Qty1] (etc.) instead.
