   I should probably show you the code in question.....   
      
      
   Dim AmountDue As Currency   
       AmountDue = Item1Amt.Text + Item2Amt.Text + Item3Amt.Text +   
   Item4Amt.Text + Item5Amt.Text + Item6Amt.Text + Item7Amt.Text +   
   Item8Amt.Text - Item9Amt.Text - ItemAAmt.Text   
      
      
      
      
   Thanks again...
