I am using filter by form to obtain the number of my work orders that are
complete, I need to take that number and divide it by the total number of
jobs and get my completion percentage to show up on the form. Any
suggestions??? I would very much appreciate it!

Thanks,

Well, given that I have no idea where in your tables or queries the
number of work orders might be found, I have to hazard a guess here...
but something like an expression such as

=DCount("*", "[WorkOrders]", "[Complete] = True") / DCount("*",
"[WorkOrders]")

as the Control Source of a form textbox might work. You may need to
add criteria to limit it to that subset of workorders of current
interest.
