Hi Fernand,

  
I wonder why there is not a sort of a calculator' field available in a 
form where this calculator can be bound at a data field in the table 
where the form is based on.
 It is a simple concept  needed  by common users who wants  to add data 
to a external data-base table ( who's concept can not been altered by a 
common user).
Some fields  has to been calculated based on input from the user or the 
input is  based on  other fields off the form.
I now it can been done with some lines of macro code but for common 
users its far more simple to formulate their calculations directly in 
the form field.

Is this a missed feature, or wanted behavior ?



A missing feature, finally. Of course it would be nice to have this,
alas, there's no infrastructure at all for this, yet, so implementing it
would be a hude task.
  
Sorry, I am not a professional coder but we are not missing that match i 
think :-)
if we (mis)-use a listbox an instead of sql statement we use 
OO-formulas  refering to Form-fields and to Table-fields then we have a 
calculaed listbox no ?


Thanks for the respons

Fernand


Ciao

Hallo,

form where this calculator can be bound at a data field in the table 
where the form is based on.
