Hi Roi,
I used your With...Endwith and I get no more errors, but i'm not getting my total in totalbdft. It stays at zero. Any ideas?
Thanks,
JD

>>each of the bdft references is a textbox, as is totalbdft. i want the sum of the bdft boxes to show interactively in totalbdft. when i run this it tells me 'displayvalue not found'. should i be going at this a different way?
