automate a formula ?

[Guest]

Hello,

Ok so i placed this question on a previous post and i
would like to know if a macro could run to be
able to calculate how many hours an employee has left for
vacation.For example, 10 employee with each having 200
hours a year for vacation.How would the calculation work
in reducing each employees 200 hours as they are taken?I
already have a field for (hours not worked) and a drop
down field for the codes(v for vacation,p for personal or
o for other.Would this be a calculated field or do i
create a formula and have a macro event run after an
employee number entry? Any help would be
appreciated...thanks
