Creating fields

[Doc60]

I would like to know how to create a field that will contain a number and
then beable to have the user change the field without field being deleted.
Also I would like to know how to program within the macro instructions to
beable to go to a specific field.

Thank you

What sort of a field? What's the purpose of the exercise?

It is a field in a table that will be a number, that will be used in
calculations.

Hope this helps.

Graham,
I think he started this thought in this thread.

Doc,
Please tell us what you are trying to accomplish. First the big
picture, then the details. Your continued vague descriptions prevent
us from offering any specific help.

We are not getting any nearer to understanding what you want. Do you want a
form field, a merge field, a REF field, an Ask field, a Fillin Field - any
one of which could be used in a calculation. You could even use a formula
field {=yournumber}.
If the number is in a table you can calculate it without it being in a
'field'.

At a rough guess I would suggest a form field. Investigate the forms
toolbar. With the form locked for forms, a user can only enter stuff in the
form fields.

The field that I have created, was created in the File/properties. Where a
user clicks on File then clicks on properties and then on common. Chooses the
field and then puts in a new value for the field. It is then updated in the
table using a command button that we already have.

What I would like to do now is take that field value and write code that
states if the field equals 0 then exit the macro if not continue with the
next line of code.

I hope this is more descriptive.

Thank you
