Hi Erik
Unfortunately that generates an error. The Method works, just not immediately.
If i click a value in combo1, then combo2, then combo3, I have to go back and change the value of combo1. At this point the Method does what it is supposed to do. Now i change combo1 back to the value I origonally wanted to get the necessary output.

Now, if i choose the combos in opposite order (combo3, then combo2, then combo1), I get immediate results. I just can't figure it out.

>>i've got combo1,combo2,and combo3. selected values in these three combos are used in method1 to produce a value in textbox bdft1. a second row of combos does the same with method2 and comes out in textbox bdft2. method tbf() adds the values in the two textboxes and spits it out in textbox total.

>>the addition method doesn't work when a value is chosen in order: combo1, combo2, and combo3; but when you go back and rechoose combo1 it does.
