Sorry Me again

[DUNNER7]

I want to design a form with 8 drop down list boxes each having a choice of
values between 0 - 10. I would like to creat a box or field that will take
the entered value from the 8 boxes and display the total of the sum of the 8
added together. I looked in the help and couldn't find a specific help
topic. Am I on the right track or should I use a different control?

Thanks for any assistance

Yes, you can do that. Add a text box to show the sum of the 8 values selected
from the drop downs.

1. Right click the text box and select 'text box properties'.
2. There will be small button named as 'fx' to the right side of the 'Value'
textbox (in the default value section). Click it. It will open another small
form.
3. Click 'Insert field or Group' button and select the first drop down. Add
a plus sign manually after the added field. Again click the 'Insert field or
Group' button to add the second drop down. Repeat this step to add all the
drop down boxes. Your formula will look like this:
field1 + field2 + field3 + field4 + field5 + field6+ field7 + field8
4. Click Ok twice to close the open dialog boxes.
5. Preview the form, select values in dropdowns. The text box will show the
sum of all the values.
