Hi.Here is my problem. I basically have a recordset which gets information from 3 tables in my database. One of the table hold the price of a product, and another holds QTY ordered. I can sucessfully call the correct information. However, what i wish to be able to do now is to create a coloum which calculates the total price (QTY * Price) for that row.
Any Ideas
Thanks
Aaron

OK, got a new problem now.
This time i am selecting a Machine from machine tables. In this tables Weekly_running_cost is held.
What i want to able to do is select the machine from a drop down, then enter the number of weeks. Then when this form is subbmitted the figure for Weekly_running_cost * Weeks to be displayed
So far i have managed to get the drop down, and an input box for number of weeks. Then my results display the Machine_Name, Weekly_Running_cost and the number of weeks that the user entered, but am unsure on how to do the calculation for the row.
Any help would be nice.
Thanks
