An interesting approach. I wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something obvious<g>. Thanks.

>About the only way to do this is to NOT bind the textbox to a ControlSource. Use the Refresh [if you skip through records in the form] or Init [if the record never changes during the life of the control] to set the value of the textbox with the Ceiling() function. Add a custom property to the control, cControlSource, where you identify the ControlSource of the control. In the LostFocus of the control you can put code to replace the cControlSource with the new value.

>>I have a form that calculates fields to several decimal places. Is there a way for the user to see the field on a form as a rounded up integer?

>>Example: The real number is 5.9, but the user should see 6. If I use 999,999 as the format, the user sees 5 not 6.

>>I don't want to change the real number so the round() function won't do it. I just want it to display 6 without decimals. The underlying number should remain at 5.9 unless the user enters a different number eg 7, then the underlying number should change to 7.0.
