Saving off "calculator" data...

[Brad Pears]

I have a form on which I want to use a "calcualtor" to allow the users to
calculate data.

What I would like, and what has been requested is to be able to do two
things...

1) automatically have the calculator drop the calculated value into the
correct field (similiar to the way you would have the calendar do this when
the user double clicks a date etc...)

2) Be able to capture the users calculator entry and save it off into a
field. We want to do this to be able to check their detail when caluclating
area etc...

Does anyone know of a 3rd party calulator that would enable this type of
thing? I'm sure the std windows calculator will not do this...

Thanks,

Brad

See if this will work for you... Uses Windows Calculator.

That actually works quite well. The only thing it doesn;t do is to allow you
to save the detail entry... ie... if the user types in 108*56, I would like
to save that somewhere...

Thanks for your help, Brad
