>Try setting the value of the textbox to 0 (zero) or any number.
Thanks.
Well, that would be what I call an "unbounded" TextBox (, and perhaps I'll end up doing precisely that). By "unbounded" I mean that it doesn't have a ControlSource.
The point is that the data is eventually stored in a character field, so I wanted to use the .ControlSource correspondingly; but that doesn't seem to work correctly.

Actually, now I see that I have been doing exactly that; but it doesn't work, probably because the value of the .ControlSource isn't numeric.
