Developers get paid the big bucks to solve these problems. If you don't know
how, take some classes or team up with a mentor, or get a tutor to teach you
how, or post questions in the newsgroups. Access has a steep learning curve so
it takes some time to learn how to use it properly. Getting some help from
someone more experienced will speed up the learning process tremendously.

I am thinking of removing those, and just have
users to add and subtract it themselves before inputting into the database.
It will be much easier for them to run reports stuff like that, isn't it????
Just simple math i think they can handle,,,,hmmmmmmm,,,,,

Never underestimate the ability of folks who know how to add and subtract, but
can't type. If you want your database applications to rely on the users for
data integrity and data validation, please hand the "Access Developer" hat to
someone else before you get fired!
