>>>Yossi,
>>>There are multiple ways.
>>>-You could invoke default calculator with 'Activate window calculator' and get calculated value with _CalcValue
>>>-Yopu could simply call an inputbox and ask for text. ie:
>>>
>>>lcCalc = InputBox('Calculate','Enter your expression')
>>>* User enters 44234+12542+6211
>>>? iif(empty(lcCalc),0,Evaluate(lcCalc))
>>>
>>>-Create a modal form that would get calculation similar to inputbox etc.
