I would probably write the code to calculate the number of parts and update the PARTS textbox and place it in a custom method of the form. Then in the lost focus events of the first three controls (sec, family situation, # of children), I would call that form method. You can write your custom method to require all 3 fields to be entered first before calculating the number of parts, or you could update the number of parts after the user enters each field.
