result of text box to table

[celticash]

I have several text boxes on my form with calculated
dates. They work but I would like to have the result of
those calculations put in the fields of my table,
Example:
=DateAdd("m",36[CERTDATE]-1}

I would like this result put in the ED1 field in my table.
There are several others but they are the same.
Can anyone help??

Usually you don't need to store in a Table the calculated fieds.
Each time you can repeat the calculated procedure so is not necessary.
If you need of this one in QRY you can put the exemple procedure like
a new Calculated_Field, and with this insert all the criteria you need....!

Probably i misunderstand you question but think about it.....!

Sorry about my English....... i try to learn it beter.....!

Storing derived data such as this in your table accomplishes
three things: it wastes disk space; it wastes time (almost
any calculation will be MUCH faster than a disk fetch); and
most importantly, it risks data corruption. If one of the
underlying fields is subsequently edited, you will have data
in your table WHICH IS WRONG, and no automatic way to detect
that fact.

Just redo the calculation whenever you need it, either as a
calculated field in a Query or just as you're now doing it -
in the control source of a Form or a Report textbox.
